The Athletics' bats erupted early and their bullpen locked it down late, cruising to a decisive 6-1 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday night. Oakland's offense struck quickly against Seattle starter Logan Evans, who lasted just 4.2 innings while surrendering six runs on seven hits—including two home runs. Brent Rooker delivered the knockout blow with a three-run homer in the third inning, his 18th pitch of the night, while Shea Langeliers added a solo shot of his own as part of a multi-hit performance. The A's capitalized on Evans' struggles, tagging him for seven strikeouts while building an insurmountable lead.

Luis Severino provided exactly what Oakland needed on the mound, tossing five solid innings with six strikeouts and just one run allowed to earn the win. The Athletics' bullpen then slammed the door, combining for four scoreless frames with five strikeouts, including a dominant two-inning outing from Michael Kelly. Seattle's Julio Rodríguez managed two hits but found little support in a lineup that mustered just six hits total. The loss drops the Mariners further back in the playoff hunt, while the A's continue their late-season surge with another statement win at home.
