Julio Rodríguez delivered a game-changing three-run home run in the eighth inning, leading the Seattle Mariners to a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers. This win marred Jacob deGrom's comeback after his Tommy John surgery, during which he had initially pitched well but was pulled before the end of the third inning.
Despite the Rangers jumping to an early 4-0 lead, Seattle's resilience shone through, ignited by Rodríguez, who also played a key role in the seventh inning. DeGrom's performance showed flashes of his former greatness, but it ultimately wasn’t enough to secure victory for Texas.
