Seattle capped a nine-game homestand with a 6-3 win over the Rays to secure a second straight series sweep, paced by Cal Raleigh’s MLB-leading 45th homer. The early outburst built a four-run lead that the Mariners would ride to victory as they closed within a half-game of the division-leading Astros.

hall-of-famer Ichiro Suzuki joined the park for a Hall of Fame moment and delivered a message on embracing pressure, a theme the club carried into the night as Raleigh, Rodríguez and Suárez paced the offense. Rodríguez singled and Seattle converted a balk into a two-run sequence, with Suárez delivering a timely two-run single. This win keeps Seattle squarely in the AL West mix as the season heads toward its final stretch, with Ichiro’s words echoing through a clubhouse hungry for a push.
