Raleigh’s 2 Home Runs, Woo’s Gem Lead Mariners’ Dominating Victory

In a resounding display of dominance on May 3, 2025, the Seattle Mariners steamrolled the Texas Rangers 13-1, powered by stellar pitching, timely hitting, and some unforgettable defensive gems.

From Bryan Woo’s shutout performance to Cal Raleigh’s electrifying pair of home runs, the game offered Mariners fans plenty to celebrate.

Bryan Woo: Setting the Tone on the Mound

When your starting pitcher throws over six dominant innings and surrenders just one hit, the game is likely yours to lose.

Bryan Woo’s commanding performance against Texas reminded everyone why he is one of the most reliable arms in the Seattle rotation.

Woo pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out eight Rangers without giving up a single walk—a rare feat for any pitcher in today’s game.

Consistency on Display

Woo has pitched at least six innings in all six of his starts this season, proving his mettle as a workhorse.

With an arsenal of unhittable pitches, it’s clear that Seattle has a star on their hands.

Cal Raleigh: The Heart of Seattle’s Offense

If Woo was the star on the mound, Cal Raleigh stole the show at the plate.

Raleigh’s power on full display electrified the crowd, as he belted two home runs, including a majestic grand slam.

The solo shot in the fourth inning alone was enough to turn heads, traveling an impressive 432 feet.

But the grand slam in the fifth inning? That was the dagger, capping off a seven-run onslaught that effectively iced the game for the Mariners.

A Leader in the Box

Raleigh’s unmatched production now sees him leading the league in home runs with 12—a remarkable feat as the season’s first month comes to an end.

His season-high five RBIs in this game are yet another reminder of his ability to deliver when it matters most.

New Faces and Defensive Brilliance

The Mariners’ win wasn’t just about their big-name stars.

Rhylan Thomas made an unforgettable MLB debut, slapping his first career hit on a bloop double that he—and Mariners faithful—won’t soon forget.

Meanwhile, the defense shined as Ben Williamson and Miles Mastrobuoni each turned in web-gem plays that kept the Rangers’ offense stymied.

These contributions highlight the depth and versatility that make Seattle a dangerous team.

Seattle’s Offensive Explosion: A Five-Game Statement

The victory marked Seattle’s fifth straight win, and their offense has been red-hot during this stretch.

Averaging 9.6 runs per game during the streak, the Mariners have left opposing pitchers struggling to keep up.

Since April 9, they own the best record in the major leagues at 15-4.

Momentum for the Long Haul

While May only marks the early stages of the season, the buzz around the Mariners is palpable.

From Woo and Raleigh setting game-changing standards to the role players making big contributions, this team’s chemistry and momentum signal something special on the horizon.

As Seattle continues its tear through the season, fans can feel the excitement building.

The Mariners aren’t just winning; they’re dominating in all facets of the game.

With their dominant pitching, explosive offensive firepower, and exceptional defense, one thing is clear: in 2025, the Seattle Mariners mean business.
