Seattle Mariners Shut Out San Diego Padres 2-0 on Wednesday
Pitching continued to prove itself as the strength of the Seattle Mariners as their staff combined for a 2-0 shutout against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday at Petco Park in San Diego. Seattle improved to 51-43 on the year with the win.
Bryce Miller went six innings for the Mariners, allowing no walks and one strikeout. He improved his record to 7-6.
“It was big,” Miller said in a postgame interview Wednesday. “Kind of a weird game. I was just throwing it in there and they were putting it on the ground. I’ll take that. Anytime I can throw good, give us a chance to win, I’ll take it.”
The Twitter account @MarinerMuse had the perfect summation for Miller’s outing, calling it “one of the weirdest starts a Mariners pitcher has had all year.”

Miller’s stats didn’t necessarily jump off the page, but he did have a few clutch moments that don’t show up on the box score.
Miller’s lone strikeout came against the last batter he faced. His final pitch was a 96 mile per hour four-seamer in the bottom of the sixth that got Jake Cronenworth to chase and left one runner stranded.
Miller also didn’t blink in a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the second. It helped that his defense was there to back him up.
Julio Rodriguez caught a Ha-Seong Kim fly out in shallow center field and gunned it to home, where Cal Raleigh tagged out Donovan Solano for the 8-2 double play.

Once Miller’s day was done, the Seattle bullpen made sure his start didn’t go to waste.
First, Austin Voth came in and the Padres went down in order in the bottom of the seventh. In the bottom of the eighth, San Diego threatened but came up empty.
Ryne Stanek helped to generate two quick outs but let up a walk and a single. Andres Munoz entered the game and struck out Jurickson Profar swinging and the Padres left two stranded.
In the bottom of the ninth, Munoz allowed the first two men to reach via walk. After a mound visit, San Diego grounded out, struck out and lined out to leave the game-tying runs on second and third. Munoz earned his 15th save of the year for his 1.1 innings pitched. He has an ERA of 1.45.
Offensively, Seattle’s two runs were pretty cut-and-dry. Raleigh scored on a fielding error in the top of the second and Jorge Polanco hit an RBI single in the top of the fourth.
Seattle snapped its six-series loss streak with its two wins against the Padres. It will continue its California road trip with a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels starting at 6:38 p.m. PT on Thursday in Anaheim, Calif.

The City of Seattle is paying $650,000 to fix a bus line error along the RapidRide G Line.
Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crews removed three orange steel plates that had lifted buses by approximately one inch and repaved the short sections of the roadway along Madison Street where the plates were initially placed.
Those orange plates were a stopgap solution to properly serve riders who use wheelchairs and walkers, as the original construction for the three center-road bus stops along King County Metro’s RapidRide G Line were roughly an inch too high when it first opened in 2024.
The $650,000 construction fix is expected to come from a $144.3 million construction project, which paid for nine new buses, built 8 miles of sidewalks, repaved the road, and replaced or upgraded more than 40 traffic signals, according to The Seattle Times.
The affected stops were Stops 104, 105, and 124. Stop 104 is on Madison Street between Terry and Boren Avenues, while Stop 105 is on Madison Street between Summit and Boylston Avenues, and Stop 124 is on Madison Street at E. Union Street and 12th Avenue E.
An SDOT spokesperson told The Seattle Times the specific bus platforms were “slightly too high for bus ramps to extend properly.” If the platform height is even slightly off, riders using wheelchairs, walkers, or experiencing other mobility issues can’t get on or off the bus.
The RapidRide G Line, which opened in 2024, connects Madison Valley, Capitol Hill, First Hill, and Downtown Seattle.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Kraken dropped their fifth-straight game as the Jets won 6-2 in Winnipeg.
The loss adds to the dwindling Stanley Cup Playoff hopes for a Kraken team that’s made the postseason just once since the team began playing in the 2021-2022 season.
The Kraken’s (32-33-11) 75 points trail the Nashville Predators’ 81 points with just six games remaining.
The Jets, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, and Saint Louis Blues are ahead of the Kraken in the standings as teams jockey for Wild Card spots.
Kraken captain Jordan Eberle opened the scoring in the first period to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.
The Jets then scored once in the first period and twice in the second to take a 3-2 advantage into the third.
Goalkeeper Joey Daccord was pulled after allowing two goals on 12 shots.
Forward Jared McCann scored early in the third period to bring the Kraken to within one.
The Jets then scored two unanswered goals and an empty-net goal to seal the 6-2 win.
