Mariners Win Spring Training Thriller Behind Garver's Big Bat and Woo's Dominant Pitching
The Mariners grabbed a 4-2 victory over the White Sox in spring training action on March 22 in Glendale, Arizona. This was a solid tune-up win with some serious offensive firepower and steady pitching that should have Seattle feeling pretty good heading into the regular season push.
Garver and Canzone Lead the Offensive Charge
Mitch Garver was the star of the show for the M's. The catcher went deep in the second inning with a solo homer to left, and then added a sacrifice fly in the fourth that brought home D. Canzone to extend the lead to 2-0. D. Canzone also chipped in with a hit, scoring a run in the fourth. These early runs gave the Mariners some breathing room, which matters when you're in spring training trying to build momentum.
The offense stayed alive in the eighth when things got a little wild. Cal Raleigh grounded into a double play that somehow scored V. Robles from third, making it 3-1. Then Plymell's wild pitch brought in L. Rivas, and the White Sox answered back with a two-run homer from McGuire to right field that traveled 387 feet. But the Mariners held on for the win.
Woo Dominates on the Mound
B. Woo was excellent for Seattle, throwing 6.0 innings while giving up just three hits and one earned run. He struck out four batters and didn't walk anyone. That's the kind of clean outing you want to see in spring training. A. Muñoz, J. Ferrer, and C. Criswell handled the rest of the load out of the bullpen, with Criswell picking up the save.
The White Sox got seven hits compared to the Mariners' four, but Seattle made the hits count when it mattered. Both teams hit one home run each. It was a 2:20 game played in front of 8,707 fans at Camelback Ranch in Glendale.
Spring training wins like this build confidence. With the regular season approaching, this is exactly the kind of performance the Mariners want to carry forward.
