The Seattle Mariners outslugged the New York Mets in a wild 11-9 shootout Friday night at Citi Field, surviving a late rally behind a relentless offensive attack. Cal Raleigh led the charge with a 3-for-5 performance, crushing a home run and driving in three runs while scoring three times himself. His clutch hitting set the tone early, but it was Francisco Lindor's two-homer, four-RBI night for the Mets—including a towering shot that briefly gave New York hope—that kept the pressure on. Seattle's bullpen barely held on after Luis Castillo's shaky start (6 ER in 4 IP), with Andres Muñoz and Matt Brash combining for 1.2 scoreless innings to seal the win.

Both teams traded blows in a game that saw five home runs and 20 total runs, but Seattle's balanced attack—featuring multi-hit games from six different players—proved too much. The Mariners' victory snaps a three-game skid, while the Mets' bullpen woes (8 ER in 4.1 IP) continue to haunt them in tight races. With playoff implications looming, this high-scoring affair underscores Seattle's resilience and New York's urgent need for pitching answers.
