Overview

  • Seattle clinched the set 2–1 with a 4–3 win, punctuated by Suárez's three-run homer and Andrés Muñoz's 31st save after Fernando Tatis Jr.'s late RBI double.
  • The night before, Ramón Laureano's first-inning grand slam powered San Diego to a 7–6 victory in a game that swung repeatedly.
  • Laureano's blast was his second career grand slam and came off Luis Castillo, who was tagged for five earned runs in four innings.
  • San Diego's bullpen closed out Tuesday with Robert Suárez recording a league-leading 35th save after Seattle's six-run fifth that featured three-run homers by Randy Arozarena and Suárez.
  • In the standings context, the Mariners hold the final AL wild-card spot just behind Houston in the West, while the Padres sit in an NL wild-card position and chase the Dodgers in the NL West.
