A 3-2 walk‑off win over Arizona snapped the Mariners’ early‑season slump and sparked a six‑game surge. The team has allowed just 12 runs in that stretch, keeping opponents below two runs per game except one 7‑6 outing.

Seattle’s power has surged; the club hit 42 homers in May, tying for the majors. Julio Rodríguez supplied 10 of those, while the absence of Cal Raleigh and Brendan Donovan has forced the lineup to adapt.

Manager Dan Wilson now relies on a six‑starter rotation, with Luis Castillo pitching out of the bullpen to keep the bullpen fresh. The Mariners sit at 31‑29, a 2½‑game lead in the AL West, and their recent consistency has reignited fan optimism.

The 6‑game streak signals a shift from the mediocrity of April and May, positioning Seattle as a serious contender for the division title.
