The Seattle Mariners pulled off an impressive victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to the offensive performance of rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez. Rodriguez was the star of the show, going 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBIs. His two homers came in the fourth and sixth innings, respectively, and both were two-run shots that helped the Mariners take a commanding lead.
The Mariners’ offense was firing on all cylinders, as they scored nine runs on 12 hits. Rodriguez was not the only one who had a big night, as catcher Tom Murphy and first baseman Daniel Vogelbach also had multi-hit games. Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, while Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
The Mariners’ pitching staff also had a strong outing, as starter Marco Gonzales pitched seven innings of one-run ball. He allowed just four hits and struck out seven batters while walking none. Reliever Anthony Bass pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game and earn the save.
The win was a big one for the Mariners, as it snapped their four-game losing streak and improved their record to 11-14 on the season. It was also a big night for Rodriguez, who is quickly becoming one of the team’s most important players. He is now hitting .289 with four home runs and 17 RBIs on the season, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.
The Mariners will look to build on this win as they continue their series against the Dodgers on Wednesday night. With Rodriguez continuing to swing a hot bat, they have a good chance of picking up another victory.
