Mariners’ Homer Surge Lifts Them to 8th Straight

Mariners extend – Seattle crushed the Mets 8-3 on Tuesday night, extending its season-best eight-game win streak. The Mariners hit three more home runs, bringing their total to 21 since their last loss on May 24, with Julio Rodríguez leading the way and injury fill-ins Patrick

When the Mariners turned a quiet early edge into a full-blown show of power, it looked like the kind of night Seattle rarely gets anymore. Tuesday night ended with an 8-3 victory over the Mets and an eight-game win streak that keeps growing teeth—season-best, and built with another three home runs.

Seattle’s bats have been especially loud since its last loss on May 24. In that stretch. the Mariners have totaled 21 homers. and Tuesday’s performance added to a run that feels almost out of character for the current landscape of the sport. No team has hit that many home runs in an eight-game stretch all season. and only three teams did it last year: the Yankees. Cubs and Angels.

The Mariners haven’t seen a surge like this since 2019, a year when power spread across the league. Even then, Seattle’s most recent run with this many homers over this few games had come in 1999. What makes this version of the win streak land even harder is the result it’s producing: during the streak. Seattle advanced to four games above .500 (33-29) for the first time this season.

The sequence also matters. This is not just padding against whoever happens to be in the way. During the streak. Seattle swept the team it sits atop the American League West with—Athletics—and it also swept a National League contender. the D-backs. With another sweep within reach. the Mariners now head into the next matchup against the Mets. the club that carries the sport’s second-highest payroll.

Julio Rodríguez gave the night its loudest moment. In the sixth inning, he launched a sky-high solo home run that hung for 6.6 seconds and traveled a Statcast-projected 396 feet. It was his 13th home run of the season. and it kept him on a track that should place him on the cusp of his fourth All-Star selection.

But the early damage didn’t come only from star-level firepower. The Mariners got key elbow grease from the injury fill-ins, and it changed the feel of the game. Patrick Wisdom, taking over for first baseman Josh Naylor, went deep in the second inning. Jhonny Pereda, filling in for Cal Raleigh, added his homer in the fifth.

Those two swings weren’t just useful—they were telling. Wisdom and Pereda became the 10th and 11th different players to homer during this win streak. In other words, the Mariners aren’t waiting for one lineup spot or one name to save the day. The contributions keep coming from multiple directions. and that’s exactly why this homer run—already rare on the stat sheet—looks like more than a short-lived burst.

So now Seattle is eight games deep, scoring and flexing at the same time, with the Mets standing in the way of another sweep and another night where the ball just doesn’t stay in the park.
