Mariners’ eight straight wins power late-season surge

Mariners’ eight – Seattle kept rolling as Patrick Wisdom homered for the first time this season and the Mariners stretched their winning streak to eight games, topping the New York Mets with another punchy offensive night.
SEATTLE — Patrick Wisdom’s first home run of the season came at exactly the right time, and Jhonny Pereda’s power added spark as the Seattle Mariners kept their momentum rolling. Seattle beat the New York Mets and moved to their season-high eighth straight win.
Wisdom broke through in the second inning with a two-run shot off Mets opener Huascar Brazobán. his first homer since Sept. 21, 2024, with the Chicago Cubs. New York answered in the third when rookie Carson Benge launched a two-run homer and later added a solo shot off Logan Gilbert in the sixth—his first multi-homer game in the majors.
Gilbert finished with 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs and striking out eight. Even so, Seattle’s offense kept finding ways to push runs across. Julio Rodríguez homered in the sixth, then earlier in the fourth lofted a sacrifice fly off Canada’s Jonah Tong (1-1) to score Wisdom.
Seattle’s scoring wasn’t just timely—it was relentless. The Mariners smacked three home runs and lifted their total to 21 during this streak. The winning run is the team’s longest since they swept through eight straight victories in September last season. With the latest win, the Mariners improved to 33-29 and moved to a season-best four games over .500.
For the Mets. the night carried the familiar feel of a late rally that never fully got traction—despite Benge’s big power showing and New York’s ability to tie it up after Seattle’s early jump. For Seattle. it was another reminder that this streak isn’t flukey production: the Mariners are scoring in bunches. game after game. and they’re doing it with enough different bats to keep opponents off balance.

8 straight wins?? Mariners are on some cheat code rn.
I swear teams only do this when the schedule is soft. Mets probably just had a bad bullpen night like always.
Patrick Wisdom getting his first homer this season “at exactly the right time” sounds like he was missing the rest of the season too which is kinda crazy. Also why does the article say “his first multi-homer game” like that’s a normal thing for a rookie?? MLB is wild.
Logan Gilbert gave up runs but “only” 3, so basically he was fine? And they mention Jonah Tong from Canada (does that mean Canada has good baseball now?) Either way, this late surge stuff is always fun until it flips and then everyone acts shocked.
