SEATTLE (Interstat) — Bryan Woo delivered his third quality start of the young season, and the Seattle Mariners used a trio of home runs to secure a series victory with a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday evening at T-Mobile Park.

A crowd of 35,474 watched as the Mariners, after dropping the series opener, won back-to-back games to take two of three from their American League West rivals. The victory improved Seattle’s record to 10-13, while Texas evened its mark at 11-11.

The tone was set immediately. Rob Refsnyder, leading off the bottom of the first inning, hammered the first pitch from Rangers starter MacKenzie Gore over the left-field wall for a solo home run, staking Seattle to a 1-0 lead.

Seattle doubled its advantage in the second. After Mitch Garver drew a two-out walk, shortstop J.P. Crawford connected on a Gore offering, sending a two-run homer to right field to push the lead to 3-0.

The Mariners broke the game open in the fifth. Julio Rodríguez sparked the rally with a two-out single, bringing Randy Arozarena to the plate. Arozarena, who had doubled in the third, then unloaded on a pitch, driving it deep to left field for a two-run blast that extended the Seattle lead to 5-0.

That was more than enough support for Woo, who turned in a masterful performance. The right-hander allowed a sharp leadoff single to Brandon Nimmo to start the game, then proceeded to retire the next 15 Rangers batters in order. Josh Smith broke the string with a single in the sixth, but Woo otherwise stifled the Texas lineup.

His only trouble came in the seventh. Woo issued a leadoff walk to Corey Seager, allowed a single to Wyatt Langford and hit Joc Pederson with a pitch to load the bases with one out. Josh Jung lifted a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Seager, and Evan Carter followed with an RBI double to plate Langford, cutting the deficit to 5-2. Woo escaped further damage by getting Smith to ground out, ending his afternoon after seven innings of four-hit, two-run ball. He struck out six and walked one to earn his first win of the season, improving to 1-2.

The most critical juncture of the game came immediately after Texas’s rally in the seventh. With the lead trimmed to three and momentum potentially shifting, the Mariners’ bullpen slammed the door. Gabe Speier worked a scoreless eighth, and closer Andrés Muñoz was dominant in the ninth. Muñoz struck out Jake Burger and Joc Pederson swinging. After a wild pitch allowed Burger to reach, he fanned Josh Jung on a foul tip and got Evan Carter to ground out to end the game, securing his third save with a perfect, three-strikeout inning.

Texas’s Gore was saddled with the loss, falling to 2-2. He lasted five innings, surrendering seven hits and all five Seattle runs while striking out five. The Rangers managed only five hits total, with Nimmo collecting two, including a double.

The Mariners’ offense was powered by the long ball, accounting for all five runs. Arozarena finished 2 for 4 with the two-run homer and a double, while Crawford’s two-run shot provided crucial early breathing room. Refsnyder’s leadoff homer set an immediate offensive agenda that Woo and the bullpen would protect.

Seattle’s victory marked its second straight win after enduring a four-game losing streak. The team will look to continue the momentum as it opens a three-game series at home against the Athletics on Monday. Texas, after a 3-3 road trip, heads home to Arlington to begin a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.

According to pregame projections, the result was a mild upset. Interstat’s game simulator had predicted a 5-3 Rangers victory, and while its ELO system gave Seattle a 54.3% probability to win, the Mariners covered the -1.5 spread with the three-run margin of victory.
