Mariners attempt to top .500 in finale vs. Rangers
Seattle ace Luis Castillo looks to bounce back from a rare tough outing when the Mariners host the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series
The Mariners will try to move over .500 for the first time since starting the season with a victory. Seattle has won seven of its past nine games, including a 5-0 triumph over the Rangers on Tuesday. Texas won the opener of the three-game set 2-1 on Monday
Castillo will be try to follow up three straight dominating starts by teammates Bryce Miller, Logan Gilbert and George Kirby.
Miller allowed two hits in six shutout innings during a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday. Gilbert gave up two runs and struck out 10 in 6 2/3 innings during the Monday loss to Texas, and Kirby pitched seven innings of six-hit, shutout ball in the Tuesday win. The trio combined for 24 strikeouts against two walks in 19 2/3 innings.
“Our pitching is unbelievable,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said after the latest victory. “We are rolling right now. Night after night, I sit up here and just rave about what I’m watching. I hope everybody realizes how talented these guys really are.
The Rangers, who are 7-3 over their past 10 games, have certainly noticed
Texas tallied just two runs in the first two contests after scoring 58 runs over the previous six games.
“It’s a good staff over there,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said after the Tuesday loss, “but you still have to get a big hit, and we just couldn’t quite do it.
It doesn’t get any easier for Texas with Castillo on the mound.
“We’re facing another really good pitcher,” Bochy said of Castillo. “We’ve been scoring runs. That’s what works best for us. This is a group that bounced back well.”
Castillo, a two-time All-Star, allowed a season-worst four runs in seven innings against the Astros last Friday. The right-hander received a no-decision after allowing five hits and one walk and striking out five.
Castillo (2-0, 2.38 ERA) pitched scoreless ball in three of his seven starts. He has struck out 43 in 41 2/3 innings and has a tidy 0.91 WHIP.
Castillo, who was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds at the 2022 trade deadline, is making his first career start against the Rangers. He does have experience facing Brad Miller (0-for-5) and Robbie Grossman (1-for-4)
Tom Murphy smacked a two-run homer and Ty France hit a two-run single to highlight Seattle’s offense on Tuesday.
Right-hander Dane Dunning (2-0, 1.42 ERA) will be on the mound for Texas in the finale. He will make his second straight start after beginning the season in the bullpen.
Dunning figures to be in the rotation for a while after Bochy said Tuesday that ace right-hander Jacob deGrom (elbow inflammation) won’t ramp up toward a return for another two or three weeks. He is eligible to be activated from the injured list on Sunday.
Dunning tossed five shutout innings against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. He gave up two hits and one walk and struck out three.
Dunning, 28, is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in five career starts against Seattle. Cal Raleigh is 3-for-8 with a homer and two doubles vs. Dunning, and Julio Rodriguez (2-for-11) also has homered against him.

The Seahawks were six-point underdogs to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. They trailed most of the game. Yet, in the end, they came out victorious thanks to a few key moments going their way. Here are five turning points in their big win.
10:17 2nd Quarter: Devon Witherspoon deflects a pass from Brody Purdy, Johnathan Hankins intercepts
The Seahawks trailed 7-3 early in the second quarter. The 49ers looked to go on a drive to go up multiple scores. Quarterback Brock Purdy tossed a pass intended for star running back Christian McCaffrey. Seattle’s Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon jumped in the way and batted the pass in the air. That allowed nose tackle Johnathan Hankins time to find the ball in the air and come down with the interception, the first of his 12-year career. That stalled the 49ers drive and set the Seahawks up to get a field goal to cut the deficit to one.
3:25 3rd Quarter: Ken Walker III 1-yard touchdown run
Down 10-6, the Seahawks had a chance to take the lead with a touchdown drive. They mounted an 11-play drive that took six minutes and ate up 70 yards. Facing 2nd and Goal from the one, the Seahawks went to a heavy formation and handed the ball off to Ken Walker III. He bowled into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.
3:06 4th Quarter: Christian McCaffrey tackled for 1-yard loss
The 49ers were nursing a 17-13 lead and had the ball, following a big defensive stop on 4th and inches against Seattle’s offense. The 49ers had a chance to seal the game with this drive. There was doubt the Seahawks would even get the ball back. Then, the defense stepped up. Perhaps the biggest play of the drive was tacking Christian McCaffrey for a one-yard loss. Coby Bryant came flying in and tackled the All-Pro running back for a loss. That put the 49ers behind the sticks and eventually led to a punt, giving the Seahawks one more chance.
2:07 4th Quarter: Geno Smith completes pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for first down on 3rd and 5
The Seahawks took advantage of that chance given to them by the defense. However, they faced a big third down early in the drive. Geno Smith stood tall and fired a bullet to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the first down to continue the drive. The second-year receiver caught 10 passes for 110 yards on the day, but none were bigger than this catch.
0:18 4th Quarter: Geno Smith runs for 13-yard, go-ahead touchdown
This was arguably one of the top plays of the entire NFL weekend. On second down, the Seahawks had zero timeouts left. Geno Smith could not afford to be tackled in bounds or the game was likely over. Smith scrambled left and found the corner of the endzone for a touchdown. That score gave Seattle a 20-17 lead with under 15 seconds left. It sealed Seattle’s first win over the 49ers since December 2021 and Geno Smith’s first as the quarterback of the Seahawks.
