Mariners Edge Twins in Thrilling Finish
In a gripping matchup on June 1, 2025, the Seattle Mariners claimed a narrow 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by Cal Raleigh’s major league-leading 23rd home run. The game’s intensity peaked in the ninth inning when Randy Arozarena delivered a clutch single, bringing home Julio Rodriguez, who had advanced to third base on a throwing error by Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers.
Twins starter Chris Paddack showcased his pitching prowess, striking out 10 and yielding only four hits over eight innings. Paddack’s exceptional performance was marred by a seventh-inning homer from Raleigh, who has now become the first Mariners player to hit at least 10 homers in consecutive months since Alex Rodriguez in 1999.
Seattle’s Luis Castillo dazzled on the mound, contributing six shutout innings. The Twins managed to tie the game briefly in the ninth thanks to Harrison Bader’s sacrifice fly, but it wasn’t enough. Joe Ryan, with a 2.57 ERA, is set to start for the Twins against the Athletics on Monday, while George Kirby will take the mound for Seattle as they begin a series against Baltimore after a day off.
