Mitch Garver Injured, Leaves During Seattle Mariners Loss<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thursday was not a banner day for the\u00a0Seattle Mariners<\/a>, who not only lost to the Minnesota Twins 10-1 after a four-plus-hour long rain delay. Seattle also had to take catcher Mitch Garver out of the game, putting Cal Raleigh back behind the plate.<\/p>\n

Taking a look at Seattle’s adventures probably will make Mariners fans scratch their heads. Let’s start with Garver’s situation.<\/p>\n

Garver took a foul ball off of his mask in the fifth inning. After Seattle manager Dan Wilson and the training staff checked on him, a decision was made to take Garver out.<\/p>\n

Twins right fielder Matt Wallner fouled the ball off and it hit Garver’s mask around his jaw and cheek. Garver has dealt with concussion issues due to a foul ball back in 2018 when he was with Minnesota,\u00a0The Associated Press<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Raleigh, who was penciled in as the Mariners’ designated hitter on Thursday, had to shift back to play behind the plate. Because that happened, Seattle lost its designated hitter spot in the game.<\/p>\n

Seattle starter Emerson Hancock pitched four scoreless innings against Minnesota Twins<\/p>\n

That wasn’t the only loss Seattle suffered, either. Minnesota’s Trevor Larnach slammed a two-run homer in the fifth off Mariners starter Emerson Hancock (3-4). Hancock kept the Minnesota hitters in check with four scoreless innings. But that all went away pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson (3-4) went five scoreless innings, keeping Mariners’ hitters off-balance.<\/p>\n

Minnesota staked its claim to the victory with an eight-run sixth inning. Brooks Lee homered off Seattle reliever Zach Popo to lead off the inning. Byron Buxton and Willi Castro followed with RBI doubles, Carlos Correa added a two-run single, and Wallner added a two-run homer.<\/p>\n

For the Twins, it marked their biggest offensive outburst since scoring nine runs in the first inning against the New York Yankees back in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Thursday win came on the heels of Wednesday’s 2-0 Minnesota win over Seattle on Wednesday. It’s the first time that the Twins have won back-to-back games since winning three in a row back on June 3-5, according to\u00a0The AP<\/a>. Before this happened, Minnesota had lost 15 of 18 games.<\/p>\n
