M's Cole Young plates winner in MLB debut vs. Twins

June 1 - Cole Young drove in the winning run in the 11th inning of his major league debut as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Saturday. Cal Raleigh continued his home run barrage and J.P. Crawford also went deep as the Mariners snapped a three-game skid and moved back atop the American League West by a half-game over Houston. Collin Snider (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings of extra-inning relief to earn the victory. With Mitch Garver serving as the ghost runner at second base, Leody Taveras dropped down a sacrifice bunt off Cole Sands (3-2) to start the bottom of the 11th. Miles Mastrobuoni replaced Garver as the runner at third and beat the throw to the plate on Young's grounder to first baseman Ty France. The Twins challenged the call, but the result stood. With the Mariners having used closer Andres Munoz each of the past two nights, they brought in Carlos Vargas with a 4-3 lead in the ninth. After Ryan Jeffers popped out, Byron Buxton hit a comebacker to the mound. Vargas fielded the ball but threw errantly down the first-base line, allowing Buxton to get to third. Trevor Larnach then grounded a single to right to score Buxton with the tying run. Twins reliever Griffin Jax got out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. With one out, Young got his first major league hit, a line drive to right field. Crawford doubled to left an out later and after Raleigh was intentionally walked, Jax fanned Julio Rodriguez to end the frame. The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Carlos Correa drew a leadoff walk off Bryce Miller and Matt Wallner, who was making his return after spending six-plus weeks on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain, followed with a homer to right. Willi Castro singled and stole second, took third on a groundout and scored on Buxton's two-out single to center. Ben Williamson led off Seattle's half of the third inning with a single and, an out later, Raleigh went deep to right, his 22nd homer of the season and his third in the past two games to tie the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani for the major league lead. It remained 3-2 until the seventh when Young drew a leadoff walk off Jorge Alcala. With one out, Crawford hit a blast off the facade of the second deck in right field at T-Mobile Park, giving Seattle its first lead. Twins starter Bailey Ober went four-plus innings and gave up two runs on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts. Seattle's Bryce Miller, fresh off the injured list due to right elbow inflammation, also went four innings. He allowed three runs on five hits, with one walk and two strikeouts. --Field Level Media

Mariners Reliever Gives Up Game-Winning HR In Loss

When the New York Yankees needed a big hit on Wednesday at T-Mobile Park, they just looked to their captain. Aaron Judge was ready for the call, delivering a game-tying solo home run en route to a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners. Mariners reliever Carlos Vargas (1-3) put a slider right in Judge's wheelhouse and he didn't miss it. The eighth-inning homer snapped a 2-2 tie. Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton notched the victory and Luke Weaver, the New York closer, picked up his fourth save this season. The Yankees' rally managed to put a damper on a great game from Seattle center fielder Julio Rodriguez. He made an incredible catch in the first inning, taking away a home run from New York leadoff hitter Trent Grisham. Rodriguez then knocked in two runs in the third inning. Advertisement Mariners starter Luis Castillo was on his game, too. He just gave up one run and six hits in six innings of work. Yankees pinch-hitter Paul Goldschmidt, with New York down 2-1, slammed a game-tying solo homer in the seventh inning, The Associated Press reported. Seattle positioned itself for a rally in their half of the eighth, too. With one out, Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena were on base. But Dylan Moore couldn't capitalize, hitting into a double play and ending any Mariners threat. Both teams will be off on Thursday. The Yankees start up a Subway Series with the New York Mets, sending Carlos Rodon (4-3, 3.29 ERA) to the mound. For Seattle, the Mariners go up against the San Diego Padres. Right-hander Logan Evans (1-1, 6.60 ERA) will get the start for the Mariners.

NASA Awards Launch Service Task Order for Aspera's Galaxy Mission

WASHINGTON, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected Rocket Lab USA Inc. of Long Beach, California, to launch the agency's Aspera mission, a SmallSat to study galaxy formation and evolution, providing new insights into how the universe works. The selection is part of NASA's Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) launch services contract. This contract allows the agency to make fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity launch service task order awards during VADR's five-year ordering period, with a maximum total contract value of $300 million. Through the observation of ultraviolet light, Aspera will examine hot gas in the space between galaxies, called the intergalactic medium. The mission will study the inflow and outflow of gas from galaxies, a process thought to contribute to star formation. Aspera is part of NASA's Pioneers Program in the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, which funds compelling astrophysics science at a lower cost using small hardware and modest payloads. The principal investigator for Aspera is Carlos Vargas at the University of Arizona in Tucson. NASA's Launch Services Program, based at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, manages the VADR contract.
