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 – 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.

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.”
