Mariners rout Reds 8-0 on Raleigh grand slam
Cal Raleigh hit his sixth career grand slam on the first pitch after an intentional walk to load the bases for Canzone, fueling an 8-0 win for Seattle. George Kirby worked six scoreless innings and joined three relievers in limiting Cincinnati to three hits. Victor Robles went 4-for-4 and scored twice, helping Seattle snap a brief skid and move into first place in the AL West. Julio Rodríguez left the game with a hamstring issue after an RBI single earlier, a potential setback for Seattle. Raleigh's slam was his 10th homer of the season, continuing a strong rebound for Seattle’s lineup. The win completed the series opener and marked Seattle’s third straight victory as they reclaimed the division lead.
