Mariners 8, Mets 3: Three Homers Extend Seattle's Win Streak to Eight

The lead

June 2, 2026 - Seattle - Patrick Wisdom hit his first homer since September 2024, Julio Rodríguez went deep again, and the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Mets 8-3 for a season-high eighth straight win, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Seattle improved to 33-29, four games over .500, with 21 homers during the streak.

How the game turned

Wisdom's two-run homer in the second off opener Huascar Brazobán gave Seattle the lead. Rookie Carson Benge tied it 2-2 with a two-run shot in the third—his first multi-homer game after adding a solo blast in the sixth.

Logan Gilbert (4-4) allowed three runs with eight strikeouts in 5⅓ innings. Rodríguez's sacrifice fly in the fourth and his 13th homer in the sixth—tying him with Luke Raley for the team lead—built the cushion.

Jhonny Pereda's three-run homer in the fifth off Jonah Tong (1-1) made it 7-2. Seattle finished 8-3 without Josh Naylor, who sat with back spasms.

Pitching and matchup notes

Gilbert struck out eight and held the Mets to five hits. Tong took the loss in relief.

Rodríguez led the AL with 10 May homers. Pereda's blast was his second career homer after his first on May 20.

Bats that changed the board

Benge's 13.5 fantasy points in the CBS box score reflected his two-homer night in a loss. Seattle's three-homer attack drove 16 team FP in AthX Engine scoring.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

Gilbert added 10.33 pitching FP on a night when the Mariners' offense did the heavy lifting. Eight straight wins boost narrative momentum, but daily AthX Engine scoring and dynamic pricing still track separate inputs.

What comes next

George Kirby (5-4) opposes Freddy Peralta (3-4) on Wednesday afternoon, per AP.
