SEATTLE – The Blue Jays jumped on Mariners starter Luis Castillo through early command struggles for five runs, and a handful of key defensive plays by Toronto helped sink Seattle in a 6-3 loss on Friday night.
Addison Barger had three doubles off Seattle pitchers and robbed Rodríguez of an RBI double to lead the effort for the Blue Jays, and former Mariners reliever Yimi Garcia escaped a bases loaded jam in the eighth inning to preserve the Toronto lead.
Julio Rodríguez, Ben Williamson, J.P. Crawford and Miles Mastrobuoni all had prospective base hits taken away by strong defensive plays from Blue Jays fielders to keep additional runs off the board.
Castillo struggled immediately with command issues for Seattle, waking the first two batters he faced in Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Both walks would come around to score as Barger’s one-out double to right field brought both runs home for a 2-0 lead.
A two-out double by Barger in the third inning sparked another scoring surge. Ernie Clement singled to drive in Barger for a 3-0 lead, and Nathan Lukes hit a two-run home run to make it a 5-0 game.
Castillo settled in and retired seven of the last eight batters he faced as he made it through the fifth inning for Seattle. He allowed five runs on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
Meanwhile, Kevin Gausman retired the first eight Mariners in order before Williamson’s two-out single in the third inning gave Seattle their first baserunner. J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco followed with consecutive singles as Seattle clawed back a run to make it 5-1.
Rodríguez ripped a two-out offering from Gausman, but Barger made a stellar grab to erase a potential double and at least one run scoring for Seattle. Daulton Varsho robbed a home run from Williamson in the fifth inning, and Bichette followed with a leaping grab of a Crawford liner as the Blue Jays web gems thwarted Seattle’s offense.
Three more consecutive singles by the Mariners in the sixth inning from Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena chipped away another run, and a two-out double from newcomer Leody Taveras cut the Toronto lead to 5-3.
Gausman exited after Arozarena’s single to load the bases, going 5 ⅓ innings with three runs allowed on seven hits, no walks and three strikeouts for Toronto.
Seattle threatened again in the eighth against former Mariners reliever Yimi Garcia. Rodríguez’s lead-off single was followed by consecutive walks to Raleigh and Arozarena to load the bases with no outs. Pinch-hitter Miles Mastrobuoni lined to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at first base, who was unable to catch the ball. However, Guerrero threw home to get Rodríguez and keep the run off the board.
Garcia buckled down and struck out Taveras and Dylan Moore to escape the jam unscathed.
Toronto answered by loading the bases themselves in the top of the ninth against Seattle reliever Troy Taylor. Varsho’s sacrifice fly gave the Blue Jays an insurance run and a 6-3 lead.
Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman struck out three batters in the ninth and had to get an extra out as Crawford reached on a wild pitch.
What’s next:
Right-hander Logan Evans (1-1, 7.20) is set to face Toronto righty Bowden Francis (2-5, 5.66) in the second game of the three-game set on Saturday night.

There’s been a question about the future of Seattle Seahawks edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence this offseason.
It may have been answered Monday.
Two Takes: Should Seattle Seahawks extend Derick Hall?
Just weeks after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in February, ESPN’s Brady Henderson said “one of the first questions” the Hawks had to answer this offseason is “whether or not DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back.”
Generally, the sentiment in the months since has been that the 34 year old is not retiring, but there has not been a concrete answer from the five-time Pro Bowler or the Seahawks on his status for 2026. The closest thing to it came from Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald in late March, when he said, “To my knowledge, he’s coming back” to reporters at the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix.
In the Seahawks.com article Monday announcing Seattle’s signing of veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., there was a statement that seemed to indicate where Lawrence, who is a 12-year NFL veteran, stands on the retirement question.
Fowler said that before he ultimately decided to sign with the Seahawks, he talked for roughly a half-hour on FaceTime with Lawrence, who was his teammate with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 and 2023.
Lawrence had a message that helped convince Fowler to join Seattle: “If you want to win a Super Bowl, you should come here.”
That sounds like a statement you’d hear from somebody who’s planning to play in 2026, doesn’t it?
Seattle Sports’ Brock Huard thinks so.
“(The Seahawks) have gotten no indication whatsoever that he is retiring. And on top of it, I kind of read this as I don’t think you go full-boat and sell the organization in that way unless you also want to be a part of it and … go get that ring again,” said Huard, a longtime FOX football analyst and former NFL quarterback, on Tuesday’s edition of Brock and Salk.
On top of it all, what Lawrence said to Fowler is a great sales pitch for the Seahawks.
“Dante Fowler made it really abundantly clear, the final push was DeMarcus Lawrence. And the final push was: you want to win a Super Bowl, then you’ve got to be a Seattle Seahawk. And I don’t think there is any stronger (sales pitch than) word of mouth,” Huard said. “… That’s what you want, right? In any business, in any kind of marketing, the best advertising and the best marketing and the best sales pitch is what? Word of mouth. And when it comes from within and somebody with the credibility that DeMarcus Lawrence has too and the relationship he has with Dante Fowler, that was the final selling point. Job well done.”
Brock Huard answers three football questions in the Blue 88 segment at 7:45 a.m. during each episode of Brock and Salk. Catch Brock and Salk weekdays from 6-10 a.m. on Seattle Sports.
