Game Summary
Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Seattle Mariners 3-2. The Rays prevailed after a two-run sixth inning, when Richie Palacios’ RBI single scored Chandler Simpson and Cedric Mullins to put Tampa Bay up 3-1, and timely, scoreless relief from Steven Matz and the bullpen preserved the lead. Seattle got two solo homers from Josh Naylor — he finished 3-for-4 with two long balls and two RBIs — and Victor Mesa Jr. tied the game with a fourth-inning solo shot, but the Mariners could not rally late. Matz worked two scoreless innings and was credited with the win, and Bryan Baker closed out the ninth for the save.
