Seattle Mariners Keep Sliding, Get Some Good News
Seattle Mariners Keep Sliding, Get Some Good News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Fans of the Seattle Mariners probably hoped that a visit to the Valley of the Sun might be a good thing for their team. Well, it's been a struggle for the Mariners during the 2025 MLB season. Tuesday night's effort against the Arizona Diamondbacks didn't give them much room for hope.

Gabriel Moreno and Corbin Carroll provided the offense for the Diamondbacks as they destroyed Seattle 10-3 on Tuesday night. Moreno smashed a three-run home run and Carroll socked a couple of triples for Arizona.
Mariners starting pitcher Logan Evans (3-2) worked five innings, giving up four runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out five. Seattle was in position to make it a close game in the sixth inning. Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez hit back-to-back solo homers, getting the Mariners to within 4-2 entering the Diamondbacks' half of the sixth.
Mariners reliever Trent Thornton unable to keep Diamondbacks in check
Seattle reliever Trent Thornton couldn't keep the score tight. A five-run Arizona outburst gave the D-Backs a 9-2 lead and that was the ballgame. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled, Pavin Smith walked and Moreno then slammed his fifth homer this season, The Associated Press reported.

Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt (8-4) held his own against the Mariners, only allowing those two solo homers in his five innings of work.
Seattle desperately needs some of their trusted pitching arms back in the rotation. The Mariners got some good news as starting pitcher Logan Gilbert worked five innings at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday night.
Gilbert was around the strike zone a lot, notching 43 strikes in 72 total pitches, MLB.com reported. If Gilbert can return pretty soon, then the Mariners could look to surge back into the American League West race.
As it stands now, though, the Mariners are looking up at the Houston Astros from second place.

Aaron Judge gets a day off from historic Yankees tear
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Aaron Judge nearly homered his way out of his first day off all year. Instead, in Game 67, the best hitter in baseball finally rested. Advertisement Nearly a week ago, Aaron Boone had circled Thursday as a good day to have Judge out of the lineup — or at least the most optimal, since there never is a good day not to have him batting second or third in the lineup. Judge's response was that if he homered in each of the first two games against the Royals, Boone would have to reconsider. Sure enough, Judge went deep Tuesday and again Wednesday for his 25th home run of the year and brought the evidence back to his manager. 'He kind of looked at me, like, 'Hey…' ' Boone said with a grin Thursday at Kauffman Stadium. 'So I was reconsidering. But I think we both wanted to stay disciplined to this one. Right time for it.' Advertisement Judge started the first 67 games of last season before getting his first day off June 10. This year, he started the first 66 before resting June 12, though Boone indicated that was more coincidental than it being some scientific sweet spot for a day off. 3 Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees hits a home run during the seventh inning against the Kansas City Royals on June 11. Getty Images Advertisement But the Yankees are early in a stretch of 16 games in 16 days. They were scheduled to get into their hotel in Boston in the early hours of Friday morning. They have a day game Sunday after a night game Saturday. And the Royals started a pair of lefties in the first two games of this series before right-hander Seth Lugo took the mound Thursday. 'I never want him out of the lineup, but I feel like one of those that hopefully pays some dividends in the long run of keeping him fresh,' Boone said. 'Today seemed like the day that made some sense.' Boone had second thoughts about his decision Wednesday night after Judge crushed another home run — his third straight game with at least one homer, which put him on pace for 61 over the course of a full season — but eventually stuck to his gut. 3 Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) celebrates his home run with teammates. David Smith/CSM/Shutterstock Advertisement The 6-foot-7, 282-pound right fielder started a career-high 158 games last season and remains on track to chase that number this year as long as he stays healthy. The day off allowed an epic start to the season to breathe for the first time. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Through his first 66 games, Judge was batting .394 with a 1.269 OPS, 25 home runs and 59 RBIs. He had reached base safely in 62 of those 66 games and reached base multiple times in an MLB-high 51 games, just the third player in the modern era to accomplish that, joining Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Judge also is the only player in the modern era to record as many home runs and as high of a batting average as he did through his club's first 66 games of a season. 'It's getting out of hand at this point,' Clarke Schmidt said. 'It feels like every time he goes up there, he's ready to do damage. Obviously, the average is what it is. If it's not a homer, it's probably a hit. It's crazy impressive what he's able to do.' Advertisement 3 Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) catches a fly ball for an out.

This season, he entered Thursday leading the American League in batting average by 28 points (over Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson) and RBIs by two (over Red Sox DH Rafael Devers) while trailing Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh by one home run. Advertisement On the whole — adding in his quality defense in right field — his 5.9 fWAR was 1.9 higher than anyone else in the majors (Raleigh at 4.0). 'The most amazing part of it is I feel like he's just playing well — I don't feel like he's been on fire at any point,' Boone said. 'That's what's amazing about it. I think he's just out there playing well. Getting his hits, doing his thing. But in a lot of ways, I'm honestly still waiting for him to catch fire. And then that's when it gets really scary.'

Mets' Kodai Senga leaves game against Nationals with possible leg injury
The New York Mets won their Thursday afternoon matchup against the NL East division rival Washington Nationals. While the 4-3 victory was the Mets' sixth consecutive win, the game was marred by what appeared to be a serious injury to one of their key players. Starting pitcher Kodai Senga recorded one out in the sixth inning but exited the game after he sustained an apparent injury. Senga seemed to have trouble with his right leg after he ran to cover first base on a ground ball hit by Washington shortstop CJ Abrams. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso initially fielded the grounder, but his throw to Senga forced the pitcher to leap into the air, and he landed awkwardly on first base. The runner was ruled out, but Senga fell to his knees in foul territory after the play. Senga was in visible pain and held his hamstring as Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and the team's trainer tended to the MLB All-Star. The Mets held a 4-0 lead over the visiting Nationals when Senga made his way to the dugout. He had allowed just one hit when he exited the baseball matinée. Senga earned the win Thursday to improve his record to 7-3. His 1.47 ERA ranks second in the majors.

Sister of Red Sox's Roman Anthony, MLB's top prospect, goes viral during his Red Sox debut: 'Surreal'
Boston Red Sox top prospect, and the No. 1 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, Roman Anthony made his long-awaited debut at Fenway Park on Tuesday night. While all baseball eyes were on Anthony, he wasn't the only member of the family who went viral. Lia Anthony, Roman's sister, told Boston-based WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" that she had "quite a few DMs" after being shown on the NESN broadcast for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. While discussing the excitement of seeing her brother's dream come true playing in the big leagues, Lia also revealed that her Instagram following jumped from 3,000 to more than 14,000. "I mean, it's been surreal," Lia, a Florida State University graduate, told WEEI. As of Thursday night, Lia's following has reached over 17,400 followers. Lia wouldn't reveal who DMed her, and what was said. However, she was laughing at a few. "I got a couple baseball [DMs]," she explained. "But it was funny, somebody said something about how they accidentally hit their baseball [in my DMs] and asked me to throw it back." The whole Anthony family was in the front row at Fenway Park to witness Roman's debut, including father Anthony Sr., brother Anthony Jr., who goes by Tony, and mother Lori. NESN sideline reporter Jahmai Webster took the time to interview the Anthony family during the game, which was one of the main reasons Lia went viral. But she says her little brother Roman wasn't too fazed by the attention she was getting. "I think he definitely was shocked. We all were. We all were kind of in disbelief. But, I mean, he's got bigger things to focus on. So, he's just been focusing on his debut and everything. But I think we were all just shocked by it," Lia explained. Lia added that this was her first experience in Boston, where she said "the people were amazing." She also got to meet Red Sox legend David Ortiz, calling it "an unreal experience." "My mom especially was so touched by it, because David Ortiz had shared a couple words with her, talking about how incredible Roman is and how he'll be the face of the franchise," Lia said. Roman didn't have the debut he wanted, going 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI, but he was able to notch his first career hit, a two-RBI double, on Wednesday.
