The Seattle Mariners were once again impressive with their bats on Monday, following up an offensive explosion versus the Chicago Cubs over the weekend with an 11-2 win over the Minnesota Twins to take the first game of their four-game set. As we are prone to do, let’s take a look at the good, bad, and ugly from the blowout win over the Twins on Monday. ### Good: Bryan Woo Woo was able to strike out nine over six innings of two-run baseball, and those punchouts tied his career high. He dealt with traffic early on and did allow back-to-back homers in his final frame, but between that, he was as dominant as we’ve seen the right-hander. He was able to pound the top of the strike zone throughout the game, and generated an impressive 18 swings-and-misses throughout the contest. This makes 15 straight starts to open the season for Woo that he’s gone at least six innings. Considering how little he’d worked in college and in the minors, for him to become an innings eater speaks to how much he’s grown as a starter, and just how efficient he has been in 2025\. He may not be an ace, but he’s not far from it, and he’s going to give you quality - and quantity -- frames when he’s on the bump. ### Good: The Bullpen It was low-leverage stuff, but both Eduard Bazaro and Zach Pop were up to the task after Woo departed. Bazardo worked a scoreless seventh, and Pop fired the final two innings. Not only is that big for keeping Minnesota off the board, but it’s significant in keeping your high-leverage relievers working in a four-game series. It’s easy to forget the bullpen in games you win by a touchdown and a safety, but they deserve their kudos, too. ### Good: Dom Canzone So, this is what the Mariners saw, huh? Canzone has been outstanding since being promoted from Triple-A, and smashed another homer and also doubled. Notably, the latter came against a southpaw, albeit a not-very-good one in Joey Wentz. Still, Canzone has shown off his impressive power in his latest stint in Seattle, and there’s never been any doubt about his ability to put the ball over the fence. The question is whether the other tools translate well enough for that power to play in the bigs. So far - at least lately, anyway - so good. ### Good: Cal Raleigh Did It Again Raleigh’s homer was his 32nd. It is June 23, 2025 and I’m out of superlatives. It’s so heartening to see him not only leading all AL catchers in All-Star votes, but he’s second in voting regardless of position behind Aaron Judge. The world loves you, Big Dumper. ### Good: Julio Rodriguez Needed it. Rodriguez has hit for a decent average in June, but the power has just not been there as of late. It was a wonderful reminder that J-Rod has enormous power potential in his bat with an absolute tank into left field today for his first roundripper in 24 games. He also doubled into the gap for a two-run double for a four-RBI night. Let’s be clear: Julio Rodriguez is an outstanding baseball player. The value he provides with his glove and on the bases cannot be overstated. Even with a mediocre offensive season, he’s in the top 25 players in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) according to FanGraphs. That being said, the Mariners need more offensive fireworks from Rodriguez if they’re going to be a title contender. Monday was a wonderful reminder that he’s talented enough to produce at an elite rate. We’ve seen it before. We just need to see it more consistently. Which reminds me… ### Ugly: WHY CAN’T THEY DO THIS MORE OFTEN??? I mean, I know the answer. Baseball is hard. The other team is trying too. They play in a home ballpark that suppresses offense at an enormous rate. But why can’t this be more common? Why does this team have such a hard time stringing together quality offensive games? Why? As fun as the offensive outburst has been as of late, it's more than fair to wonder where this has been as of late, and also to wonder if they can keep it up. We’ve been hurt before, folks. But for now, this is fun.
