The Mariners defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in extra innings on Sunday to extend their winning streak to six games. The team has allowed 12 runs over the streak, surrendering more than two runs in only one contest. The club finished May tied for the major-league lead with 42 home runs.
Rotation and injuries Manager Dan Wilson has used six starting pitchers instead of a traditional five-man rotation. Veteran right-hander Luis Castillo has accepted relief assignments behind Bryce Miller. Center fielder Julio Rodríguez hit 10 home runs in May. The team has played without two regulars sidelined by oblique and groin injuries.
Recent performance The club improved to 31-29 and holds a 2½-game lead in the AL West. Wilson said the team has shown consistent hitting, pitching, and defense over the past week. Miller noted that early-season results did not reflect the club's potential. Rodríguez said the team's power hitters are connecting and that play is trending upward.
