Woo Strikes Out 9 in 6 Scoreless Innings as Mariners Beat Braves 3-1
On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 at T-Mobile Park, handing the Braves their first series loss of the season.
Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo threw six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, simplifying his approach after struggling with over-analysis in recent outings.
Julio Rodriguez hit a 436-foot solo home run in the sixth inning, while Cole Young went 3 for 4 with two doubles and an RBI to fuel the offense.
Reliever Jose A. Ferrer retired the Braves' 3-4-5 hitters in the ninth for his second save, snapping Atlanta's 10-0-1 series start to open the season.
Manager Dan Wilson called the series win a "confidence builder" against a very good team, with the Mariners traveling to Chicago on Friday to face the White Sox.
