The Seattle Mariners drubbed the Miami Marlins 14-0 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park.

With the win, the Mariners are now 15-12 on the season and they own a share of first place with the Texas Rangers.

Seattle got big nights from everywhere in the lineup, with Jorge Polanco going 2-for-4 with two homers, three runs scored and two RBIs. Mitch Garver and Julio Rodriguez each homered, while Ben Williamson had four RBIs and Miles Mastrobuoni added three.

Starting pitcher Luis Castillo threw six scoreless innings to get back on track. He struck out five, lowering his ERA to 3.62 for the season.

The M’s also got some good news after the game on first baseman Rowdy Tellez, who left the game early after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports that X-rays on his left hand were negative. It’s unknown if he’ll be in the lineup for the series finale on Sunday.

Signed to a minor league deal in spring training, Tellez made the team on the heels of a strong camp. Though he’s hitting only .170 this season, he does have four homers and 12 RBIs. He homered in each game of last weekend’s series win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Lifetime, he’s a .233 hitter with 109 homers and 331 RBIs.

The Mariners will go for a series win on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Marlins again at 1:10 p.m. PT.

M’s rookie Logan Evans will make his major league debut against Max Meyer.

In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks selected Robbie Ouzts with a compensatory pick at the end of the 5th round. Most projections had Ouzts going undrafted, so seeing him called in round 5 signifies the team sees a specific purpose for the unique player.

Ouzts had very little production as a tight end at Alabama over his few years as a starter, but was always a trusted blocker for the Tide. I had personally said leading up to the draft that I thought Ouzts was about 20 years too late to football, and he had the body type to be a legitimate fullback in the 2000s.

Well, the Seahawks immediately announced Ouzts as a fullback and not a tight end, so it seems they agree. They just fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and his Air Raid/Spread college offense and hired Clint Kubiak, who ran an offense with the New Orleans Saints (and the 49ers before that) that actually did regularly use a fullback, so the Seahawks are likely looking at Ouzts to be a day 1 starter at a new position for them.

Roll Tide, Robbie, and may you carve out a long NFL career in a position that didn’t exist in the college game!

Seattle Pride reportedly faces an uncertain future as corporations turn away from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

In recent years, Pride parades have been funded by major corporations, but the shift against DEI and identity-politics across American business and culture is reportedly beginning to take its toll.

Seattle Pride, centered in one of the most famous left-leaning bastions on the West Coast, reportedly faces a shortfall of nearly $350,000, which, according to Seattle-based KOMO news is “attributed to recent rollbacks in initiatives and political challenges facing the LGBTQIA2S+ community.”

MAJOR COMPANIES STILL ENGAGING IN DEI POLICIES UNDER NEW NAMES, CONSUMER WATCHDOG CLAIMS

Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn spoke to the news outlet about how the changing cultural and economic landscape may shift the onus of supporting Pride events from businesses to grassroots organizations and the community.

SAN FRANCISCO PRIDE TAKES FINANCIAL HIT AFTER MAJOR COMPANIES PULL SPONSORSHIPS AMID DEI FALLOUT

“We have seen shifts in corporate sponsorship as companies assess their budgets and priorities, and some sponsors have not yet renewed their commitments this year,” Hearn said. “We are still in conversations with many of them — it’s important to us that we partner with organizations that demonstrate genuine and sustained support for the LGBTQIA2S+ community year-round. This is especially imperative as our community faces ongoing political attacks.”

Hearn added further that “We know that relying on corporate sponsorships is not the future of Pride. The future is community. That’s why we’re leaning into grassroots partnerships and radical mutual aid.”

The organization reportedly said that this financial gap threatens the very core of Seattle Pride celebrations, including the annual Seattle Pride Parade itself. 

According to The Seattle Times, “Hearn said the retreat in financial commitments by major corporate sponsors is a sign big-name companies may be following the lead of the Trump administration, which has launched a sweeping campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender people.”  

“It’s a really rough world for queer people,” Hearn told The Seattle Times, “and this just feels like it’s part of that package.” 

Hearn declined to name which corporations have neglected to renew their donations to the annual event so far, claiming her team is “still in some conversation” with some of them.

“Typically, we’d have a lot more companies who’d sign on the dotted line much earlier than the deadline,” Hearn told The Seattle Times. “What we’re seeing is a bit of uncertainty.”

Harn told the news outlet that while the shortfall will not impact this year’s festivities, the ones in 2026 could look very different unless the situation changes. She added further that the organization is soliciting individual donations and grants and will start regularly hosting events to raise funds.

Fox News Digital reached out to Seattle Pride and did not receive an immediate reply.
