Julio Rodríguez drew a career-high three walks, while Eugenio Suárez hit a 432-foot homer to center field. Logan Gilbert, who surrendered two runs in the first inning, bounced back and allowed only three baserunners the rest of the way over six innings, retiring 15 in a row at one point. The Mariners are on the cusp of a winning record on their three-city road trip and back to .500 overall.
