Seattle Mariners Hand Atlanta Braves First Series Loss in 3-1 Victory
SEATTLE — A bounce-back quality start from starting pitcher Bryan Woo and timely hitting from the lineup gave the Seattle Mariners a satisfying conclusion to their six-game homestand in a 3-1 win against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday at T-Mobile Park.
Woo allowed six or more earned runs in each of his last two starts, but manager Dan Wilson was confident Wednesday would be the day he would return to form.
That assumption proved to be correct as Woo spun six scoreless innings, struck out nine, walked two and allowed one hit. Barring a 24-pitch first inning and a pitch clock violation called in the second frame (that Woo heavily disagreed with), there were very few hiccups for the 2025 All-Star.
"I'm human. It sucks when you suck," Woo said in a postgame interview Wednesday. "It sucks to sit on it for two weeks. Those thoughts, they creep into my head just as much as anybody else. After one bad game, after two really bad games, it's not easy to (move on from). But to get back to my brand of pitching, it feels like my brand of baseball, was the first thing that I looked at and I felt. And that's what I did today."
Runs weren't aplenty for either team but Seattle was able to give its pitcher the lead to work with for a chunk of his outing.
With the bases loaded and no out in the bottom of the third — designated hitter Cal Raleigh grounded into a 6-4-3 double play that still brought home catcher Jhonny Pereda. The Mariners (18-20) were unable to tack on more runs but still took a 1-0 lead.
After Woo retired the side in order in the top of the sixth, Seattle center fielder hit a solo home run to left-center field to bolster the M's' lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the frame.
