The Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 in a game highlighted by Jacob deGrom’s early dominance. DeGrom retires the first 15 batters and strikes out 12, allowing no hit until a Cole Young single leads off the sixth inning. He also records multiple high-leverage strikeout stretches, including eight strikeouts among his first nine batters.
After deGrom’s hitless run ends, Seattle’s offense turns the game in the seventh inning. Julio Rodríguez hits a three-run, go-ahead homer off the bullpen, helping the Mariners score four runs in that frame. Texas responds but falls short, with the final margin set by the outcome of the late scoring swing.
Across the available reports, the common focus is on deGrom’s record-tying style start (first 15 batters retired and 12 strikeouts) and Rodríguez’s decisive three-run homer in the seventh. Both accounts describe the same key sequence: the first allowed hit in the sixth, then the Mariners’ four-run inning powered by Rodríguez’s homer.
