Seeking their first postseason berth in 21 years, the Mariners are five games ahead of Baltimore for the final spot. Seattle gained a game on Tampa Bay and didn't lose ground to Toronto in the tight race for three American League wild cards. Julio Rodríguez lined a two-out RBI double in the seventh off reliever Jesse Chavez that didn't stop rolling until it reached the wall in right-center field and scored Adam Frazier from first.
It was the first time this year Fried allowed multiple home runs in a start. Suárez followed an inning later, hitting a two-out shot to center for his 28th of the season. Haggerty hit the first pitch of the fifth out to left field for his fifth home run. It was another night of dominant pitching, and two big swings by the Mariners against Atlanta starter Max Fried proved to be the difference.

Sam Haggerty and Eugenio Suárez each hit a solo homer, Kirby pitched into the seventh inning and Seattle beat Atlanta 3-1 on Saturday night to snap the Braves' eight-game winning streak.Ī day after the World Series champion Braves took sole possession of first place in the NL East for the first time all season, they fell a half-game behind the Mets again after New York beat Miami earlier in the night. You have to be confident, just do what you keep doing," Kirby said. Shutting down the hottest team in baseball should only help Kirby's confidence grow, especially with what's likely a big role in Seattle's push for a playoff spot and potentially into the postseason.
It's why he's become such an asset for the Seattle Mariners. SEATTLE - George Kirby already pitches with a level of confidence not often found in rookies.
