SEATTLE – Bryce Miller allowed two runs over six innings to pick up his first win since April 17, and the Seattle Mariners used a big first inning against Houston starter Framber Valdez to hold on for a 3-2 win over the Astros on Monday night.
Seattle scored three times in the first off Valdez and then leaned on its pitching to make the early lead stand up. Miller did his part and then turned it over to relievers Trent Thornton, Gabe Speier and Andrés Muñoz to close out the victory.
Muñoz got three outs for his 11th save.
Miller (4-5) had lost his last four decisions, including his past three starts. In his four previous May starts, Miller allowed 15 earned runs after yielding just eight runs over six starts during the first month of the season.
But he seemed to rediscover a bit of his dominant form from that first month, striking out six and walking a pair. Miller said part of the success was noticing batters being more aggressive on his pitches early in counts, forcing him to be better with his location.
“For me (it’s) just trying to make sure I’m still getting ahead, but with certain hitters in the lineup not making a mistake just trying to get ahead,” Miller said. “Being aggressive on the corner early and then working off of that.”
Miller cruised through the first four innings and retired 12 straight after issuing a walk to Kyle Tucker, the second batter of the game. But he ran into trouble in the fifth when he gave up three straight singles, the last coming from José Abreu, which scored Jake Meyers. Victor Caratini’s sacrifice fly plated another run and after Jose Altuve doubled, Miller escaped the jam by getting a groundout from Tucker.
Miller again pitched out of trouble in the sixth, putting two runners on before Jon Singleton flied out to the warning track in right-center to end the threat.
Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of Monday’s game and his single was his first big league hit since April 27. The 2020 AL MVP was batting .099 when he accepted an assignment to the minors on May 1.
All of Seattle’s offense came early. Meyers made a terrific sliding catch to rob Cal Raleigh of extra bases but it still resulted in a sacrifice fly. Ty France and Mitch Haniger followed with two-out RBI singles as Valdez faced eight batters in the first inning. He needed 43 pitches to get through the first two innings, but Seattle was unable to add on.
“We had all kinds of traffic and we had some good at-bats when we did have traffic out there. Unfortunately, sometimes the ball doesn’t land on the grass like you want it to,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
Valdez (3-3) allowed just two baserunners over his final four innings on the mound and was able to get through six. He permitted six hits, struck out four and walked three.
“I thought it took him a little bit of time for his sinker to be down and to execute. He just wasn’t executing his pitches like he wanted to,” Houston manager Joe Espada said. “Then after that he settled in and he threw a heck of a game.”
UP NEXT
Astros: RHP Hunter Brown (1-5, 7.06) allowed just two hits and two runs over six innings in his last start but suffered his fifth loss.
Mariners: RHP Luis Castillo (4-6, 3.31) lost his last time out giving up two runs over five innings against the Yankees.

Cal Raleigh two-run single lifts Seattle Mariners to 3-1 win over Orioles in return from injured list

SEATTLE – Cal Raleigh came up big in his return to action for the Seattle Mariners, carrying a short-handed roster to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.
Raleigh’s bases loaded two-run single off Baltimore reliever Grant Wolfram in the seventh inning served as the decisive blow for Seattle. Logan Gilbert was also terrific over seven innings for the Mariners, reaching double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season.
After the lineup was held in check by Orioles’ starter Brandon Young for the first six innings of the contest, Victor Robles and Colt Emerson led off the seventh inning with a pair of singles to end Young’s night. A sacrifice bunt from Miles Mastrobuoni advanced the runners before J.P. Crawford – also freshly back from the injured list – drew a walk to load the bases for Raleigh.
Raleigh then placed a slider from Wolfram into shallow left-center field as Robles and Emerson raced home to give the Mariners a 3-1 advantage.
Eduard Bazardo and Andrés Muñoz polished off a terrific pitching performance overall for Seattle to close out the victory. Gilbert allowed one run on two hits with a walk, a hit batter, and 10 strikeouts – his first outing of the season with double-digit strikeouts.
But Raleigh’s impact was needed for the Mariners. Randy Arozarena was a late placement on the injured list after an MRI this afternoon revealed more inflammation in his hamstring than anticipated. It necessitated a call-up of Single-A outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. from Everett to serve as an emergency option on the bench.
Josh Naylor was out of the lineup with shin and wrist injuries, and Luke Raley was held out of the lineup due to a tight back that flared up in pregame. It left the team without much margin for error from a personnel standpoint.
So Cal did what stars need to do and carried the load.
Crawford reached base three times in his return to action as well, drawing two walks and adding a hit, and Raleigh had a walk and the big single to lead the Mariners offense.
Gilbert was dominant after allowing his only run of the night in the first inning. Taylor Ward doubled to lead off the game and came around to score on a two-out single from Samuel Basallo that put Baltimore up 1-0 early.
Young walked Miles Mastrobuoni and Crawford in the third inning to put a pair of runners on, and Julio Rodríguez’s two-out single landed in a very similar spot to Raleigh’s later on to tie the game at 1-1.
Young finished with all three runs earned on four hits with four walks and two strikeouts for Baltimore in taking the loss.

Seattle student wins Doodle for Google, redirects $50K prize
SEATTLE – An 18-year-old Seattle student won the national “Doodle for Google” art competition, securing a major scholarship and directing a massive technology prize to a local public high school.
Kameriah Johnson, who graduated from Seattle’s Lakeside School last week, won the contest with a custom Google logo celebrating Black hair. Alongside her $55,000 scholarship, Johnson chose to redirect the accompanying $50,000 Google technology package away from her own private school to Rainier Beach High School.
Kameriah Johnson’s winning “Doodle for Google” submission.
Redirecting funds for a bigger impact
What they’re saying:
Johnson says she requested that the money goes to a school where she felt the impact would be greater.
“It’s a private school in Seattle and we have a lot of funding,” Johnson said of Lakeside School. “I’m very thankful to go there and we have a lot of resources, and I just wanted to give it to a school who would use the resources better and for kids who look like me.”
When Johnson’s father notified the principal at Rainier Beach High School about the incoming donation, the reaction was immediate.
“The principal started crying and she was so, so thankful,” Johnson said.
Artwork rooted in identity and culture
The national competition challenged students to create artwork based on the theme, “My superpower is…”
Johnson chose her heritage and her hair as the inspiration for the winning design, which earned her a $55,000 college scholarship.
The custom logo features illustrations representing Johnson, her mother, and her sister. The design highlights diverse hairstyles, incorporating braids, afro puffs, and cornrows.
“I am Black, I have a lot of pride in my culture and who I am,” Johnson said. “I always found power and strength in what makes us different, and specifically my people.”
Johnson noted that her artwork reflects a shift in cultural representation across generations.
“I grew up in a generation where I could look at the screen and I could read books and I could see people who look like me, but I know my mom didn’t so much,” Johnson said.
Artistry and community activism
The winning design has received widespread recognition and viral support across social media platforms, including Black Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
For Johnson, the project aligns with her broader dedication to community work and social change. Earlier this year, the teenager helped organize a student protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“With everything I do, it’s rooted in community, it’s rooted in love, and I’d say it’s also rooted in Christ because I am Christian,” Johnson said. “Finding ways where I can use my art to make social change, to make a difference, to help people—at the end of the day, if it doesn’t make an impact or make someone feel something, it’s all kind of pointless.”

Following her graduation and national contest win, Johnson is preparing to attend New York University in the fall.
