Rays Edge Mariners 3-2 Behind Siri Homer

Jose Siri's two-run homer in the seventh inning led the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners, pushing their record back to .500 at 66-66. Jeffrey Springs pitched a stellar five scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out nine, marking his best performance since returning from Tommy John surgery. Despite a strong start from Seattle's Logan Gilbert, who threw six scoreless innings with ten strikeouts, the Mariners couldn't capitalize late in the game. Seattle scored first in the sixth inning due to a throwing error by Rays' catcher Alex Jackson, but the Rays responded with Siri's homer followed by Yandy Díaz's solo shot in the eighth. Manuel Rodríguez secured his second save of the season, striking out Luke Raley. The win highlighted the Rays' resilience and ability to seize opportunities against a struggling Mariners bullpen.
