SEATTLE — George Kirby seethed as he surged toward the home dugout after the top of the sixth inning on Saturday, straight past his teammates and out of sight into the tunnel.
Seattle’s uber-competitive young starter had just surrendered a two-out, two-run homer that tied the matinee on national television against the American League-leading Rays. And he was as peeved as at any point all season.
“That frickin’ home run pissed me off pretty good,” Kirby said postgame, after the Mariners hung on to a much-needed, 8-3 victory. “I was ready to come back out and keep going as long as I needed to.”
Kirby didn’t just keep going; he punctuated the day by emptying the tank with a 1-2-3 seventh inning, capped by consecutive strikeouts on his four-seam fastball, at 96.2 mph against Josh Lowe and 96.5 mph against Jose Siri. He reached a career-high-tying 101 pitches and carried a no-hitter into the sixth before surrendering a one-out double to Yandy Díaz two at-bats before the homer.
“He’s a dog, that’s how I’d describe it,” said teammate Jarred Kelenic, who punched an RBI single shortly after Kirby’s homer that gave the Mariners a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
“I love everything about his mentality, the way he goes about his business, the way he conducts himself on the mound,” Kelenic continued. “Like I said, he’s a dog.”
Kirby knew the stakes of Saturday’s game, particularly after the Mariners’ bullpen threw 5 2/3 innings and gave up 13 runs on Friday after Bryce Miller was forced to exit with a right middle finger blister and that the Mariners were going up against strikeout artist Tyler Glasnow, who racked up 11 punchouts on Saturday.
“That is just taking matters into your own hands,” manager Scott Servais said. “Hell of an effort really just from the get-go. Super focused, locked in, really disappointed he gave up the two-run homer. But he went out there and got three big outs after that.”
It’s not just the final results that shined, but also, the avenues that Kirby took to get there. He threw six different pitches on Saturday, toyed with them out of the zone — even if his strike-throwing speciality made it hard to do so — and showed a blossoming acumen. With their young starters, particularly Miller and Bryan Woo, the Mariners have deliberately encouraged them to not overthink and focus more on their strengths.
They’ve done that with Kirby, too, but they believe he’s taking the next step to becoming a more well-rounded pitcher.
“George has the weapons and the tools and execution to pitch to a scouting report,” Servais said. “And when he’s on his game, that’s what he’s doing. He’s using his best [stuff] against maybe an area where the hitter may be weaker at handling a certain pitch. It’s moving in the right direction.”
When Kirby departed, the game was tied at 2-2. But after Kelenic put Seattle ahead, the Mariners ran away with a three-spot in the eighth, well after Glasnow was gone. Yet even when Tampa Bay’s towering righty was on the mound, despite a whopping 23 whiffs, the Mariners’ bats kept the pressure on — thanks largely to Kirby.
Kelenic ripped a double to the right-center gap in the second, then Mike Ford drove him in with an opposite-field knock to open the scoring. In the third, J.P. Crawford ripped a 385-foot homer off Glasnow, his seventh of the season to eclipse his 2022 total. Seattle knew its best chances to strike was with its lefties in the lineup.
“Everybody in the lineup, really, we were just trying to get pitches in the heart of the plate and stay up the middle the other way,” Kelenic said. “I thought we did a really good job today of staying the other way.”
It was a crisp, sound game that the Mariners sorely needed, but even more so, it ended in a victory against one of the Majors’ best teams. They’ve exhibited these types of encouraging performances before — and they recognize that sustainability will be the next step.
“That’s the question,” Servais said. “I think it starts with a really good starting pitching. We’ll run another really good starter [Luis Castillo] out there tomorrow.”

Seattle city attorney, SPD propose new street racing measures to city council
SEATTLE – Seattle is at a breaking point as fearless street racers continue to scoff at the law.
City Attorney Ann Davison is determined to change that by proposing hefty fines and making video, including social media posts, admissible as evidence.
“We need to have our laws matter,” Davison said. “With our understaffing with Seattle Police, we need to be smart in how we address this.”
On Tuesday morning, Davison and leaders with the Seattle Police Department presented their proposal to members of the City Council Public Safety Commission.
Seattle Police report that social media posts often inspire swarms of people to attend these dangerous events. What begins as death-defying donuts often escalates into deadly consequences: gunfire, hit-and-runs and even homicides.
One example of that blatant disregard is Miles Hudson, the man-behind-the-wheel of the infamous “Belltown Hellcat.” Despite a slew of criminal charges, thousands of dollars in fines and constant demands to stop, Hudson continues to post videos of him speeding and revving his souped up car on his Instagram.
“I saw how people were laughing at officers because it felt like they couldn’t do anything,” remarked Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth. “I’m assuming people come to Seattle to do it because we don’t have particular laws that prevent this from happening.”
Davison suggests imposing a $500 fine for cars caught spinning out. She also argues that video evidence, including dash or body camera footage and social media content, should be used to prosecute offenders.
During the discussion, Councilmember Rob Saka expressed strong support for following the city of Kent’s lead in criminalizing spectators too. Saka promised to reach out to Kent mayor Dana Ralph to learn more.

Seattle police recover dozens of guns in separate incidents
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) seized at least two dozen guns in separate incidents, one Friday and another early Sunday. The incident Sunday was notable as it resulted in two people being shot and an investigation that led to an apartment where a suspect was hiding with at least 20 guns nearby.
2 people shot in Chinatown district; dozens of weapons recovered
The SPD stated it is investigating after two people were shot in the Chinatown-International District shortly after midnight Sunday. The shootings led to one man being arrested.
According to a post in the SPD Blotter Monday, an officer located two men shot near 8th Avenue South and South King Street at 12:29 a.m. Sunday. Members of the SPD moved the victims to a secure location as more law enforcement resources responded.
Two men, one is 37 years old and the other is 28, were treated on scene by the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) and transported to Harborview Medical Center in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, the department wrote in its online statement.

Officers determined the shots came from the window of a second-floor apartment nearby. SPD officers found the suspect hiding inside and arrested him.
The suspect, 24, was taken to the hospital for a medical issue not related to the shooting. Once cleared, the suspect was booked into King County Jail on two counts of first-degree assault.
A firearm was located near the window overlooking a parking lot where the victims were believed to be shot. Multiple firearms and firearm accessories also were located inside the residence and seized as evidence upon service of a search warrant, the SPD Blotter post states. The SPD added a photo from the scene to its online post and it contains at least 25 guns it seized from the scene.
The department concluded its statement by saying additional charges may follow as detectives with the Gun Violence Reduction Unit complete their investigation.
