Mariners ride four-homer burst and Bryan Woo gem past Arizona
Seattle’s bats made Saturday night feel simple: Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone went back-to-back in the second, then Colt Emerson and Julio Rodríguez added solo shots in the third. That early thunder was plenty in a 5–1 Mariners win over the Diamondbacks at T-Mobile Park.
The best part was the other half of the formula. Bryan Woo handled seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits with nine strikeouts and no walks. It was a clean, contender-style win: power early, starting pitching in command, bullpen with margin.
The result nudged Seattle to 30–29 and, per MLB standings data this morning, first in the AL West. Today brings the series finale, with Bryce Miller lined up against Merrill Kelly.

Seattle Seahawks
Quiet offseason morning, Week 1 marker set

Injury/roster note: No new verified injury report was available; formal injury reports will matter once training camp and game weeks resume.
What to watch next: OTAs/minicamp availability, roster depth-chart churn, and any official club injury updates.
Seattle Mariners
Power in bunches, Woo in command
Seattle beat Arizona 5–1 last night. Raley, Canzone, Emerson, and Rodríguez all homered, with the four solo shots coming in the second and third innings. The turning point was that immediate back-to-back then back-to-back pressure: once Woo had a multi-run cushion, Arizona never seriously caught up.
Standouts: Woo: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K. Rodríguez and Canzone each doubled and homered; Raley reached three times with a homer and HBP.
Implication: Seattle woke up at 30–29 and first in the AL West in MLB’s standings feed. It’s still early-summer baseball, but stacking home wins is the math that matters.
Today: Diamondbacks at Mariners, 1:10 p.m. PT. Probables: Merrill Kelly vs. Bryce Miller.
Oregon Ducks Football
No game; offseason watch stays on roster, recruiting, and Big Ten positioning
No Oregon football game or major verified overnight update surfaced in the checked sources. This is the quiet part of the college football calendar, where recruiting movement, summer arrivals, and preseason ranking chatter tend to matter more than daily scoreboard news.
Big Ten / playoff angle: Oregon’s next meaningful markers are roster reports, official schedule updates, and preseason conference projections.
What to watch next: GoDucks football news, recruiting commitment windows, and Big Ten media/preseason announcements.
