The Seattle Mariners brought their hot bats with them from Wrigley Field for the first of a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Monday at Target Field. The Mariners downed the Twins 11-2, hit four home run and improved to 40-37 with the win. Seattle pulled within 4.5 games of the Houston Astros in the American League West with the victory and moved half a game ahead of the Cleveland Guardians for the final AL Wild Card spot. The Mariners and Twins failed to get on the board in the first two innings and left a collective five runners on base (Minnesota four, Seattle one).
