The Seattle Mariners have been on a roll lately, and their recent trades have certainly paid off. On Tuesday night, they defeated the Boston Red Sox 6-2 in a thrilling game. The Mariners were led by starting pitcher Andres Munoz, who put on a stellar performance.
Munoz was acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres earlier this month, and he has already made an impact in Seattle. He pitched six innings of one-run ball, allowing just three hits and striking out five Red Sox batters. His performance was key to the Mariners’ victory, as it kept the Red Sox offense at bay.
The Mariners’ offense also played a big role in the win. They scored six runs on nine hits, including a solo home run by designated hitter Evan White. White has been one of the team’s most consistent hitters this season, and his home run gave the Mariners the lead for good.
The Mariners have been on a hot streak since the trade deadline, winning seven of their last nine games. They have also been bolstered by the addition of several new players, including Munoz. The Mariners are now just two games behind the Oakland Athletics for first place in the American League West, and they look poised to make a run at the playoffs.
It was an exciting game for the Mariners and their fans, and it was made even more special by Munoz’s performance. He has already proven to be a valuable addition to the team, and he looks like he could be a key piece of the Mariners’ success going forward.
