Mariners 11, Cardinals 9: Seattle Survives Eight-Homer Track Meet

April 25, 2026 - St. Louis - The Seattle Mariners outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 11-9 in a game that ESPN said featured eight home runs.

Julio Rodriguez, Will Wilson, and Cole Young all homered for Seattle, but the final turn came from Leo Rivas, whose two-run single in the ninth helped the Mariners finish the job.

The Game Would Not Calm Down

Seattle had 19 hits. St. Louis had 14. Neither team made an error. This was not a sloppy game; it was an offensive fight where pitchers had to survive more than dominate.

The Cardinals kept answering, but the Mariners had the last clean push. Rivas' ninth-inning swing mattered because in a game this wild, even an 11th run felt necessary.
