Merrill was credited with a double, the thrilling conclusion to a five-run ninth inning at Petco Park.
Mariners dugout reporter Angie Mentick had a tough night herself.
Not only was she tasked with conducting postgame interviews with players who probably didnât want to talk about the game they just lost, Mentick was reamed on social media after a fan posted a video of her typing something into her smartphone during the game.
Spoiler alert: Mentick was doing her job. She appeared to be using Googleâs Gemini assistant to research âgood questions after a tough loss in baseball.â Thatâs what she typed into her phone, at least.

Mentick took her share of flack from fans who, like the original poster, questioned her ability to do her job without the help of an AI agent.
But that controversy was tame compared to the existence of the video itself. How many people have to worry about strangers recording their every action on the job?
Thom Brennaman was fired by the Cincinnati Reds when a hot mic caught him using a homophobic slur, a completely unnecessary off-camera remark during a 2020 broadcast. ESPNâs Stephen A. Smith was while in attendance at an Indiana Pacers game.

Mentick, by contrast, was captured doing something to help her on-camera work.
âIâm upset about this person doing this to her because maybe they do know who Angie Mentick is,â Alanna Rizzo said on the April 16 episode of Fair Territory. âBut if you had taken half a second to find out who she was, youâd know that she knows baseball. ⊠So what, sheâs doing some research, maybe getting another idea, or maybe finding a way to phrase a question differently â or that type of thing â not to mention Angie just had a stroke not that long ago.â
Rizzo and co-host Ken Rosenthal werenât alone in rushing to Mentickâs defense. For her part, the longtime broadcaster seems to be handling the uproar with a sense of humor.
âCurrently asking AI how to handle going viral for using AI,â Mentick wrote on X. âIn all seriousness, Iâm late to the AI party. Earlier this season I experimented with AI to see if it had any questions to add to my list for my postgame coverage. Weâve come a long way from pen and paper when I started in 1997
