Mariners Dominate Cardinals in a Strong 6-1 Victory 
What a thrilling game for us Mariners fans! The team showed incredible resilience and skill, securing a solid win against the St. Louis Cardinals. Let's break down the highlights of this triumphant game.Early Innings - A Slow Start
The game started off slow for both teams. In the top of the 1st, Julio Rodríguez managed to single to center and later stole second, but we couldn't capitalize on it. Our defense was rock solid, though, with Paul Goldschmidt striking out and Alec Burleson being left stranded at third base.Mid-Innings - Mariners Take the Lead 
The 5th inning was where things started to heat up. After Victor Robles was hit by a pitch and Julio Rodríguez reached on an infield single, Cal Raleigh drew a walk to load the bases. Randy Arozarena then hit a sacrifice fly that brought Robles home, putting us on the board! The 6th inning was a turning point, thanks to a homer by Dylan Moore scoring himself and J.P. Crawford. With that, we jumped to a 3-0 lead! This inning also saw some fantastic base running, with Josh Rojas reaching first on a throwing error and later stealing second.
Final Push - Securing the Win in Style 
In the top of the 9th, we truly sealed the deal. Mitch Haniger, who entered the game in the eighth, singled to left and quickly advanced to third thanks to a Julio Rodríguez single and a wild pitch. Cal Raleigh then doubled to right, scoring both Haniger and Rodríguez. Luke Raley added one more run by singling to right, bringing Raleigh home.Our pitchers were outstanding throughout the game, especially in the clutch moments. Matt Carpenter tried to pinch hit in the bottom of the 9th, but our relievers kept their cool and closed the game with ease. Final score: Mariners 6, Cardinals 1.
Hats Off to the Team! 
A huge shoutout to Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, and Dylan Moore for their key offensive plays, and our bullpen for keeping the Cardinals at bay. It was a game to remember, and us Mariners fans have a lot to be proud of today! Onto the next game—let's keep the momentum going!
