Bryan Woo allowed one hit in seven innings for Seattle. SEATTLE (AP) — Bryan Woo allowed one hit in seven innings and the Seattle Mariners got homers from Eugenio Suárez, Josh Naylor and Jorge Polanco to beat the Athletics 3-2 on Friday night.

The Mariners signed Luke Jackson to a minor league deal on Thursday, as per the right-hander’s MLB.com profile page . Jackson (who turns 34 tomorrow) made his debut with Triple-A Tacoma last night, allowing two runs in an inning of relief work.

This wasn’t supposed to be possible with a roster this loaded. Maybe a five-game losing streak could have bitten the Mariners before the trade deadline, but you’d think all those deals would have made them immune to such a plunge.

According to the Mariners' PR team, Seattle is the first team in MLB history to have five players hit their 100th career home run in the same season. It definitely seems like a near-impossible quirk.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that MLB realignment is something to think about in the near future, and it could certainly help the Mariners.

Carlos Mendoza, the Mets manager, was excited to see a Little League World Series team from his Venezuelan hometown.

Julio Rodriguez's historic start to MLB career is what Mariners prayed for I grew up in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That was the peak of Mariners baseball.

Seattle has two more prospects who rank in the top 15 in the minor leagues in hit by pitches — outfielder Cesar Quintas (23 HBP) and catcher Connor Dykstra (20 HBP). Quintas and Dykstra are ranked No. 7 and No. 12 in the minor leagues in hit by pitches, respectively, and are both assigned to the Single-A Modesto Nuts.
