Seattle Mariners' Pitchers Make Wild History Not Seen Since 1943 in Recent Run
CHICAGO - The Seattle Mariners enter play on Tuesday night at 27-19 and in first place in the American League West. The M's have won four consecutive games, taking the first four games of a daunting road trip through San Diego, the White Sox and Houston.
The home run ball has certainly been prevalent in this four-game run, as J.P. Crawford, Julio Rodriguez, Randy Arozarena, Rowdy Tellez (2) and Cal Raleigh (2), have each hit homers, but the pitching staff has been excellent as well.
The Mariners started off the road trip with a 5-1 win over San Diego on Friday before winning 4-1 on Saturday. They won 6-1 on Sunday and then took the opener from the White Sox 5-1 on Monday.
According to Alex Mayer of the Mariners PR team, the M's pitching staff has accomplished something not seen in more than 70 years of baseball history.
The @Mariners pitching staff is the first to allow ≤1 run and ≤2 walks in 4 consecutive wins on a road trip since the 1943 St. Louis Cardinals from July 6-11. Both the 2025 M’s and 1943 Cardinals scored exactly 20 runs across those 4 games. #TheMayerGWS

Luis Castillo was the latest M's hurler to excel, as he threw seven scoreless innings on Monday. Collin Snider worked a scoreless eighth and Troy Taylor struggled in the ninth, allowing a run, before Andres Munoz got the final out for his 15th save.
The Mariners will be back in action against the White Sox on Tuesday at 4:40 p.m. PT, though rain is in the forecast.
