Seattle Mariners held to 3 hits in 3-1 loss to Minnesota Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Simeon Woods Richardson struck out a career-high eight in six shutout innings of one-hit ball, and the Minnesota Twins scored twice in the seventh to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Monday night in the opener of their four-game series.
Minnesota Twins 3, Seattle Mariners 1: Box score
Minnesota rebounded quickly after its 12-game winning streak was snapped Sunday with a 9-2 loss to Boston.
Woods Richardson issued just one walk. He struck out five of the first six batters he faced and had seven strikeouts through three innings. The only hit he permitted was a leadoff single by Mitch Garver in the third.
Seattle loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh but pushed across only one run against reliever Griffin Jax (3-2). Garver’s sacrifice fly plated Jorge Polanco to tie it 1-all before Luke Raley struck out to end the threat.
Seattle starter Luis Castillo (3-5) went 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven. He allowed three runs — two earned.
Minnesota’s offense put together two runs in the seventh to reclaim the lead for good. Carlos Correa’s second double of the game helped set up the go-ahead run, as he eventually came around to score on Christian Vázquez’s sacrifice fly off Castillo for a 2-1 lead. Manuel Margot added an RBI single to make it 3-1.

Twins closer Jhoan Duran pitched the eighth, striking out Julio Rodríguez on three pitches to end the inning. Caleb Thielbar tossed a scoreless ninth for his third save.
POLANCO RETURNS
After spending 10 years with the Twins, Polanco made his first trip to Target Field as a visitor.
Polanco debuted with the Twins in 2014 and was traded to Seattle after the 2024 season. He was an All-Star in 2019 and helped Minnesota end its playoff drought last season.
“A lot of emotions,” Polanco said pregame. “I spent a lot of time here. It’s definitely great coming back here, so I feel pretty good.”
The Twins played Polanco’s old walk-up music as he received a standing ovation before his first at-bat.
UP NEXT

A very early roster projection for the 2024 Seahawks season
Time flies, doesn’t it? We’re less than 100 days from the start of the NFL preseason. By the end of this week we should know the Seattle Seahawks’ full preseason and regular season schedule, and the July-August training camp dates should be known no later than the end of June.
With the NFL Draft and rookie minicamp behind us, let’s take an early look at the Seahawks roster with an extremely early 53-man roster projection. Why? Because we can and we need offseason content. Please remember that it’s May and that this roster will likely have a few more tweaks coming before training camp arrives. We’ll have better educated guesses in August.

General Notes
- George Holani and Jack Westover are my top UDFAs on offense to snag themselves a roster spot. Most teams generally roster four running backs, so I think Holani is an odds-on favorite to make the 53. Westover is a little more dicey, but I think he has the blocking and receiving skillset to make his case for roster inclusion.
- Cutting Dareke Young may be a surprise to some. While I like Young as a special teams gunner, he’s done virtually zero as an actual wide receiver over two seasons (and barely run any routes). Jake Bobo has played both special teams and instantly contributed as a receiver. Laviska Shenault could be a kick return option and has been higher up the WR depth chart on other teams. I feel like Young and Dee Eskridge are at risk of losing out—I’m not fooled by one good kick return.
- The Seahawks drafting multiple guards and adding a durable, veteran option in Laken Tomlinson has me believing Tremayne Anchrum Jr is on the roster bubble despite being signed in free agency.
- I don’t think Stone Forsythe is a roster lock. Bringing back George Fant almost makes Forsythe redundant given he can also play both left and right tackle, and historically has done so at a higher level. Rookie Michael Jerrell may be battling Forsythe for a roster spot.
- Nelson Ceaser might be the most intriguing UDFA signing on defense. It’s actually a little surprising that he wasn’t even drafted given his versatility. If not in lieu of Darrell Taylor, I believe he’s added to the roster as a situational edge rusher.
- It’ll be interesting to see how Seattle handles inside linebacker. We can assume Tyrel Dodson, Jerome Baker, and Tyrice Knight are the three main guys, but how many more will they carry for depth and/or special teams purposes? I imagine they’ll max out at five ILBs, if that many. Most likely it’s four.
- Drafting James and Pritchett puts both Burns and Jackson Sr’s respective roster spots under threat.
- If Jerrick Reed II’s recovery from his ACL tear isn’t going as smoothly as expected, then don’t be surprised if he starts the season on PUP. In which case, I’d favor Sutherland to make the roster.
- Yes, I believe every Seahawks draft pick will land on the initial 53-man roster. Jerrell is the only one I’m iffy on.
And that’s all! Let us know what you think of the roster projection or come up with your own in the comments!
