Rockin\u2019 and rollin\u2019 to a series win \ud83c\udfa4\ud83c\udfb8 pic.twitter.com\/7FLW94fxAe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) April 19, 2026<\/a>Mariners Power Showed Up At The Right Time In Series Win Over Rangers<\/p>\n Texas had already swept the Mariners earlier this month, so there was every reason for this weekend to get weird if Seattle let it. Instead, the Mariners settled the series with the exact formula that keeps them dangerous. Enough power, enough starting pitching,<\/a> and just enough pressure to force their opponent to play from behind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Sunday was the cleanest version of that. Rob Refsnyder broke out his slump in a big way and jumped on the first pitch of the bottom of the first and sent it out. J.P. Crawford added a two-run shot. Randy Arozarena followed with one of his own. All five Seattle runs came on homers, which is a very Mariners way to win a game, but this time it worked because Woo made sure there was no room for Texas to breathe. The Rangers didn\u2019t put a runner on after Brandon Nimmo\u2019s leadoff single until the sixth inning, and by then Seattle had already grabbed the game by the throat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RANDYYYYY! #TridentsUp<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jlY8b6NT6w<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) April 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Saturday mattered more than it will get credit for too. After getting shut out in the opener, Seattle needed a response that felt authoritative. Kirby gave them that. Luke Raley homered, the bullpen held up,<\/a> and the Mariners forced the series back onto their terms. Once that happened, the Rangers were right back in the same place they keep finding themselves in at T-Mobile Park: walking out of Seattle without a series win again. Texas has now gone six straight series in Seattle without winning one.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The Mariners winning this series was a reminder to the Rangers<\/a>. They came in with a chance to keep building on an early advantage in this rivalry, and instead they ran into the version of Seattle that still makes this place feel uncomfortable for opponents.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
