Summary
The Mariners’ home opener ended in heartbreak as they fell 5-3 to the Twins, despite a promising start fueled by Cal Raleigh’s bases-loaded walk and Cole Young’s solo homer. But the Twins answered with three towering homers — including two in the seventh and eighth — that shut down Seattle’s offense, which went cold after the second inning, producing just one hit in their final 23 at-bats. The loss extends Seattle’s skid to 14 of 20 games, and despite roaring support from the home crowd, a ninth-inning strikeout dashed any comeback hopes. Manager Dan Wilson’s optimism was dashed again as shortstop J.P. Crawford heads to the injured list with a wrist issue, replaced by Leo Rivas from Triple-A. Meanwhile, Brendan Donovan is poised to return for the upcoming series against the Tigers after resolving personal matters, while Luke Raley remains sidelined with elbow soreness. With a losing record and key players out, the Mariners must find a spark fast during this crucial nine-game homestand or risk slipping further into irrelevance.
