Mariners maintain 1 1/2-game lead for last AL wild card with 5-3 win over Cardinals
Randy Arozarena and Josh Naylor combined for key home runs and RBIs, driving Seattle's rally that brought the Mariners within one game of the AL West lead.
- Seattle rallied Tuesday at T-Mobile Park to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3, pulling within one game of division-leading Houston Astros with 17 games remaining.
- Facing Matthew Liberatore, Randy Arozarena launched a 405-foot, second-deck home run in the third inning, his 27th this season, erasing Seattle's 2-0 deficit with a three-run blast.
- Josh Naylor followed with a 415-foot solo homer—his 19th—and Seattle's bullpen produced scoreless relief over five innings, with Caleb Ferguson earning the win and Andrés Muñoz recording his 34th save.
- The victory moved Seattle to a 77-68 record and retained a 1.5-game cushion over the Texas Rangers for the final AL wild-card spot as its September surge continued.
- Up next, Michael McGreevy, Cardinals RHP, faces Logan Gilbert, Mariners RHP, on Wednesday night before Seattle travels to Houston for its final road series late next week.
