George Springer’s 3-run homer helps Blue Jays beat Mariners 9-1 for 3-game sweep

On the evening of May 9, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays secured a 6-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners at their home ballpark.
The Blue Jays took an early 5-0 lead thanks to Addison Barger's double that brought in two runs in the opening inning and a three-run surge in the third, while Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo surrendered five earned runs across five innings.
Despite the Mariners scoring three runs and loading bases in the eighth, blue Jays relievers including Jeff Hoffman preserved the lead by stranding all runners and securing the final outs.
Addison Barger contributed significantly with three doubles and two RBIs, while also demonstrating strong defense by preventing a hit from Julio Rodriguez at third base; Jeff Hoffman secured his eighth save.
The win ended a rare Mariners defeat after holding the majors' best record since April 7, and pushed the Blue Jays closer to a.500 record while improving their road record to 7-12.
