Overview

  • Josh Naylor opened the scoring with a 450-foot two-run homer in the first inning and stole two bases, extending his perfect 10-for-10 steal rate since joining Seattle.
  • Julio Rodríguez clubbed a three-run homer in the second inning to reach the 20-home run/20-steal milestone for the fourth consecutive season.
  • George Kirby delivered six innings of two-run ball with nine strikeouts, providing a quality start that stifled Chicago’s bats.
  • Eugenio Suarez contributed an insurance sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, underlining his immediate impact since rejoining the club.
  • Back-to-back wins moved Seattle to a season-high 62-53, nine games above .500 and within two games of both the AL West lead and the top Wild Card spot.
