Mariners Fan? You Need to See What Cal Raleigh Did Last Night at T-Mobile Park
Holy smokes, did you feel that energy radiating from T-Mobile Park last night, 12s?! The Mariners absolutely took down the Baltimore Orioles with a gritty 3-1 win, and it was all thanks to one of our own making a triumphant return. Yeah, you guessed it: Cal Raleigh came back from the injured list and wasted zero time reminding everyone why he's "Big Dumper." His bat fired up the Emerald City in a way we haven't seen in too long!
Cal Raleigh: Back and Absolutely Clutch
Can we talk about Cal Raleigh for a second? Our catcher, who has never been on the 10-day IL before in his career, was sidelined with a right oblique strain. And what does he do in his first game back? He steps up in the bottom of the seventh inning with the bases loaded, one out, and slams a tiebreaking, two-run single! That's the formula, right? That's the kind of clutch performance that fuels this team. It was pure magic, flipping a tight game wide open and setting the tone for a huge victory. You love to see it, especially when the dude on the mound for us was dealing all night, allowing just one run on two hits over seven innings, punching out a season-high 10 batters. After a first-inning hiccup, our guy retired an incredible 16 straight batters, shutting down the Orioles cold.

Mariners Showing Heart and Health
The M's offense wasn't just Cal Raleigh's heroics, either. Our main man, Julio Rodriguez, ripped a run-scoring single in the third inning, keeping the pressure on. This win felt different, like a jolt of energy. The Orioles? They're limping, suffering their third consecutive defeat after taking two of four from us just last week in Baltimore. We definitely gave them a taste of their own medicine! Now, it wasn't all perfect on the health front. We had a left fielder go to the IL with a left hamstring strain right before the game. Plus, we were missing a first baseman due to right wrist discomfort and an outfielder with lower back tightness. But even with some guys out, this team finds a way, proving they've got that fight we love to see.
The series continues tonight right here in Seattle, and you better believe we'll be ready. We've got our own pitcher on the bump, who's sitting at 5-6 with a 4.07 ERA and is looking to snap a four-decision losing streak. He had a quality start against these very Orioles on June 10, even though we took a 7-2 loss, striking out 10 guys over six innings. He's 2-6 with a 3.40 ERA in nine career starts against them. The Orioles are sending Kyle Bradish to the mound, who's 3-7 with a 4.30 ERA. He just got shelled for five runs, seven hits, and three homers over four innings in a recent game against us. This is our chance to build some serious momentum and keep this energy rolling. Let's go, M's!
