"It was a situation where they felt one way and I didn't, and that's kind of the way it went." -Dan Wilson on the umpires' decision to eject Gabe Speier before issuing warnings

FINAL: #Tigers 2 - 4 #Mariners Andrés Muñoz gets a quick save, and the Mariners are now 56-59 with a rubber match against the Tigers tomorrow.

Colt Emerson gets one of the runs back, a homer to right center.

Riley Greene strikes out, T8 concludes with a 3-2 score.

And it's a one run game as Dillon Dingler homers home himself and Torres

Gabe and Dan both ejected. Eduard Bazardo now in the game to pitch and Manny Acta in to manage.

Benches clear in Seattle after a fourth Tiger is hit by a pitch

Bryan Woo gets a double play to finish off the seventh inning with the shutout intact. He's struggled more than the top line suggests (with trouble controlling secondaries), but he ultimately logged 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 3 HBP, 91 pitches/61 strikes. StatCast dashboard:

First pitch CRUSHING the opposite way, and it's 3-0 Seattle thanks to Julio Rodriguez!

Arozarena gets a double with two outs in the sixth, the first XBH for the M's in three days

Spencer Torkelson strikes out swinging and Woo gets out of the fourth without any Tigers damage.

That's two really good plays for Randy Arozarena in the outfield this inning.

Second straight inning ends in a GIDP for the Mariners, this time with Cole Young ending the frame.

First hits since returning (for Donovan) and arriving to Seattle (for Ward) come back-to-back, Seattle has two on with nobody out.

With Josh Naylor's double play in the second, he now has as many GIDPs as hits in situations with a man on first and less than two outs (16 each). 81 such PAs with a .222/.296/.319 slash line.

Needing an outfielder to replace both an injured Luke Raley and a now-released Rob Refsnyder, the #Mariners ignored Taylor Ward's T-Mobile Park past and got him from the Orioles. How does the deal stack up for Seattle? www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seattle... for @emeraldspectrum.bsky.social:

Something interesting about Julio Rodriguez' defense, and why his declining numbers this year might be a bit of a mirage: 2025 (160 games): 18 5-star chances, 22 3 or 4-star chances 2026 (103 games): 18 5-star chances, 10 3 or 4-star chances. More stars = harder catch

Emerson Hancock talked about his experience as a widely speculated trade piece at the deadline for the first time, as well as how to adjust to a new-look squad in August. "As we move farther from it, it's like, this is our group, and then we kind of keep pushing from there":

Despite giving up four runs (three earned) in six innings, #Mariners starter Emerson Hancock felt he "executed fine, just didn't really get the results [he] wanted":

Dan Wilson attributed much of Seranthony Dominguez' struggles (0.1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2 HR) in his #Mariners debut to it being the first outing with his new team:

#Mariners manager Dan Wilson when asked about Colt Emerson's third inning error:

It's more noticeable in the spray angles (where he slapped it more), but new #Mariners acquisition Taylor Ward changed his approach at Camden Yards to hit more low liners.
