, they ensured the Mariners couldn't bring a single run home. Special shout-out to the bullpen for sealing the deal in the final innings. Philips, in particular, provided a perfect close to the game.Big 7th Inning Magic

Not long after, Will Smith got hit by a pitch, setting the stage for Max Muncy. And boy, did he deliver—homering to right (400 feet) and bringing Smith home with him. Way to make it 3-0! Muncy's powerful hit electrified the crowd and provided the cushion we needed.Solid Defense and Smart Plays
