Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo delivered a dominant performance, retiring 15 consecutive Texas Rangers batters over seven innings to earn his first win of the 2026 season. Woo's stellar outing was backed by three home runs from the Mariners' offense in a 5-2 victory over the visiting Rangers.

Why it matters

The Mariners' win over the Rangers keeps them in the hunt for a playoff spot in the competitive American League West division. Woo's ability to shut down the Rangers' lineup for most of the game showcases his potential as a key part of Seattle's starting rotation this season.

The details

Woo struck out six batters and allowed just two runs on five hits over his seven innings of work. The Mariners' offense provided ample support, with home runs from Julio Rodríguez, Eugenio Suárez, and Cal Raleigh. The victory was Seattle's second in a row as they look to build momentum in the early part of the season.
