Michael Arroyo belted his first major league homer and Dominic Canzone and J.P. Crawford also hit homers as Seattle set season bests for runs and hits (23) and tied a season high with five homers while beating the A’s for just the second time in six meetings this month.

Weston Wilson had a career-best five hits while Young, Arroyo (three RBIs), Josh Naylor and Julio Rodriguez had three hits apiece for the Mariners.

Seattle’s 18-run margin of victory is the largest in franchise history.

Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (12-9) continued his mastery against the Athletics by allowing one unearned run and three hits over six innings. He struck out five and walked two to improve to 9-1 in 12 career starts against the A’s.

The victory leaves the Mariners (70-79) five games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West and five games behind the Cleveland Guardians for the third and final wild-card spot.

The Athletics (60-89) lost for just the third time in 10 games. All-Star Shea Langeliers (knee) was activated prior to the game and went 1-for-3 with the lone RBI.

Gage Jump (6-11) gave up five runs and five hits over two innings. He struck out two and walked one.

It didn’t take long for Seattle to get cranking as Crawford led off the first with a single and Canzone ripped a two-run homer to right center one out later.

Jump retired the first two Mariners in the second before Wilson singled and Crawford was hit by a pitch. Arozarena then drilled a three-run blast to left center to make it 5-0.

The Athletics pushed across a run on no hits in the third on Langeliers’ RBI fielder’s choice.

Seattle tacked on two more runs in the fourth and in the fifth innings. Young’s two-run homer to right-center made it 9-1 through five innings.

There were two outs in the seventh when Arroyo hit a booming blast to left-center. Wilson then doubled and Crawford slugged a homer to center to make it 12-1.

The Mariners plated runs in the eighth on Naylor’s double, Young’s infield single, Arroyo’s hard-hit single and Lazaro Montes’ bases-loaded walk.

Young had a two-run single in the ninth off position player Carlos Cortes. Arroyo added a sacrifice fly to close out the scoring.

Marlins’ bullpen helps end Dodgers’ winning streak

Graham Pauley slugged a two-run homer and Otto Lopez smacked a go-ahead RBI single in a three-run second inning as the host Miami Marlins defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday afternoon.

Miami’s bullpen allowed just two hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings.

Lopez, who is batting .310, is 6-for-7 so far in the first two games of this series. He started Saturday in second place, behind Phillies infielder Luis Arraez, in the battle for the National League batting title. Arraez started the day batting .318.

The Dodgers (90-58) had their eight-game win streak broken.

Miami (73-76) snapped a four-game losing skid. The Marlins are just 2-7 over their past nine games.

Max Muncy and Mookie Betts — each with a solo homer — led Los Angeles’ offense. Muncy has 28 dingers this season. Betts has 20.

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman returned to action after missing two games due to knee soreness. Freeman went 0-for-4.

Marlins right fielder Owen Caissie left the game in the third inning due to right hamstring tightness.

Tyler Glasnow (4-1) took his first loss since August 30, 2025. He struck out seven Marlins in four innings but allowed five hits, four walks and four runs.

Reliever Cade Gibson (4-1) earned the win, pitching 1 1/3 innings of scoreless ball. He was followed out of the bullpen by Tyler Zuber, Calvin Faucher, Michael Petersen and Pete Fairbanks. It was Fairbanks’ 19th save of the season and his first since August 11.

The Dodgers opened the scoring in the first inning as Betts and Muncy hit homers on consecutive at-bats.

Miami took a 3-2 lead in the second as Caissie walked, and Pauley tied it with his two-run homer. Then with two outs in the same frame, the Marlins stroked three straight singles, with Lopez getting the RBI knock.

The Marlins extended their lead to 4-2 in the fifth as Glasnow walked the first two batters — Griffin Conine on four pitches and then Lopez. The Dodgers brought in reliever Jack Dreyer, who balked, hit Jakob Marsee and then gave up Javier Sanoja’s RBI groundout. That run was charged to Glasnow.

With two outs and none on in the ninth, Dodgers rookie Josue De Paula walked and scored on Hunter Feduccia’s single. But Fairbanks got Will Smith on a liner to third baseman Sanoja to end the game.

Padres pick up
sixth straight
win, beat Giants

Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. hit home runs, Michael King overcame a shaky start to complete seven innings, and the visiting San Diego Padres overtook the San Francisco Giants for a sixth consecutive win, 7-6 on Saturday afternoon.

Dustin Harris drove in three runs and Xander Bogaerts had four hits for the Padres (80-68), who now sit a game and a half ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the third and final National League wild-card playoff spot after the Diamondbacks lost later Saturday.

Down 2-0 after Rafael Devers’ 37th home run in the first inning the Padres scored in six consecutive innings to build a 7-3 lead. After tying the game at 2-2 in the second, the Padres fell behind 3-2 on Shay Whitcomb’s blast in bottom of the second.

Merrill’s homer, his 25th, tied the game at 3 in the third, and Tatis’ 21st made it 6-3 in the sixth. In between, Harris had a sacrifice fly and Jake Cronenworth a run-producing bunt single.

Giants starter Cesar Perdomo (0-1) couldn’t finish the fifth, having allowed five runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out three.

King (11-9) was pulled with a 7-3 lead after the seventh, having set down 16 of the final 18 batters he faced. He was charged with three runs on five hits, striking out four and walking none.

The Giants (62-87) made things interesting in the eighth when Drew Cavanaugh led off with his first career homer and Drew Gilbert followed two batters later with a two-run blast.

Adrian Morejon came on at that point and retired the middle of the San Francisco lineup in order to preserve the one-run lead. Mason Miller, called upon for the second straight day, threw a 1-2-3 ninth with a pair of strikeouts for his 36th save.

Austin Hays collected two hits and scored twice for the Padres, who beat the Giants for the eighth time in 12 tries this season. Bogaerts also scored twice, while Tatis had a single to complement his homer.

Gilbert amassed two hits, two runs and two RBIs for the Giants, who fell to 15-26 in one-run games.
