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, 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.
