Mariners J-Rod homers three straight

Julio Rodríguez extended his power surge on June 1, homering for a third consecutive game as the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Mets 3-2 in 10 innings at T-Mobile Park. The win pushed Seattle’s streak to seven games, with Cole Young delivering the walk-off single in the 10th after the Mariners had managed only four hits. (espn.com) Rodríguez’s recent run is visible in his game log: he homered on May 27 against the Athletics, then again on May 30 and May 29 against Arizona before going deep Monday against New York. (mlb.com) The broader MLB picture around Seattle’s win was a run of late finishes and momentum swings rather than one single league-wide moment. (mlb.com) Texas beat St. Louis 2-1 behind Jacob deGrom, the Mets had just come off a sweep of Miami powered by Juan Soto’s grand slam, and several clubs entered June trying to carry a strong series finish into the next matchup. ### How did Rodríguez’s streak line up game to game? ESPN’s 2026 game log shows Rodríguez homered on May 27 at the Athletics, on May 29 and May 30 against the Diamondbacks, and again on June 1 against the Mets. (mlb.com) Monday’s homer was his 12th of the season, and it came during a stretch in which Seattle kept winning despite limited offense in the opener against New York. Seattle’s June 1 game turned on timing more than volume. MLB’s game page shows the Mariners scored once in the third, once in the seventh and once in the 10th, while the Mets were held to two hits in the extra-inning loss. (mlb.com) ### Why was Seattle’s win part of a bigger late-game MLB snapshot? MLB’s scoreboard for June 1 shows the Mariners winning in 10 innings, while other clubs closed out games with narrow margins across the schedule. Texas beat St. Louis 2-1, Arizona beat the Dodgers 4-1, and several other games were decided by one run or in extra innings. (espn.com) The Mariners game stood out because it paired Rodríguez’s home-run streak with a walk-off finish. MLB’s film-room entry says Cole Young’s walk-off single gave Seattle its seventh straight win after the Mets had tied the game and forced extras. (mlb.com) ### Where does Juan Soto fit into this story if the Mets lost Monday? Juan Soto entered the Seattle series coming off one of the Mets’ best offensive games of the season. MLB.com’s Mets recap says Soto hit a sixth-inning grand slam in a 10-1 win over the Marlins on May 31, and New York scored 25 runs in the three-game sweep. (mlb.com) That context matters because the Mets’ offense looked very different 24 hours later. After scoring 10 runs on Sunday, New York managed two runs and two hits in Monday’s 10-inning loss in Seattle. (mlb.com) ### What happened in the Rangers-Cardinals result mentioned alongside Seattle? Texas beat St. Louis 2-1 on June 1, and MLB’s Cardinals game story shows Masyn Winn’s solo homer accounted for the Cardinals’ only run. The same game story says Rangers starters had thrown 27 consecutive scoreless innings before St. Louis broke through. (mlb.com) MLB’s scoreboard lists Jacob deGrom as the winning pitcher and Jacob Latz with the save, underscoring that Texas held on in another tight result rather than winning with a late offensive burst. (mlb.com) ### What comes next for Seattle and New York? The MLB schedule lists the Mets back at the Mariners on June 2 and again on June 3 to complete the series in Seattle. Rodríguez will enter Tuesday’s game trying to extend both his home-run streak and the Mariners’ seven-game winning streak, while the Mets will try to recover the offense they showed in the weekend sweep of Miami.
