Lead Story
MarinersEight Straight Ends With a Thud, but Seattle Gets a Reset Day
The Mariners’ eight-game heater finally cooled Wednesday afternoon at T-Mobile Park, where the Mets beat Seattle 7–1. The loss was less mystery than math: New York put pressure on George Kirby early, Freddy Peralta kept Seattle from building innings, and the Mariners’ only run came on J.P. Crawford’s solo homer.
Kirby’s line told the story — 4 innings, 9 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned — while Bo Bichette drove in three for New York. Crawford was the bright spot, going 3-for-4 with Seattle’s lone RBI, but the middle of the order was mostly quiet.
The good news: Seattle gets Thursday off before opening a road series Friday in Detroit. For a club coming off eight wins in a row, an off day after a flat finale is not the worst medicine.

Seattle Seahawks
Derick Hall Locks In as Seattle Keeps Its Core Tight
No Seahawks game, but there was a real roster note: Seattle announced outside linebacker Derick Hall signed a three-year extension, and the team framed it as part of keeping a championship core intact. Hall called staying in Seattle special, which is exactly the sort of OTA-season quote fans are allowed to enjoy before July makes everyone cynical again.
Injury/roster note: The key verified roster move is Hall’s extension. The team’s recent news page also notes OTA practice coverage and prior signings, but no new game injury report applies in early June.
What to watch next: OTA availability, depth-chart hints at edge rusher, and any updates from Mike Macdonald’s staff before mandatory minicamp.
Seattle Mariners
Mets Snap Seattle’s Win Streak at Eight
The Mariners lost 7–1 to the Mets yesterday. Turning point: New York’s early traffic against George Kirby became a 5-run hole by the time Seattle’s offense was still searching for its first real swing at the game.
- Standout hitter: J.P. Crawford — 3-for-4, solo homer, Seattle’s only RBI.
- Pitching note: Kirby allowed 9 hits and 5 runs over 4 innings; the bullpen mostly kept the game from getting uglier.
- Implication: The streak is over, but the larger story is still positive — Seattle banked eight straight wins before the off day.

What to watch next: Friday’s opener in Detroit and whether the bats rebound after the travel day.
Oregon Ducks Football
Quiet Week, Useful Calendar: Kickoff Windows and Civil War Future Dates
No Ducks football game and no fresh verified game-day update since yesterday morning. The most useful current Oregon items remain schedule-based: Oregon announced multiple kickoff times and TV designations for the 2026 season, and separately added four future games with Oregon State.
Big Ten/playoff angle: Early TV windows matter because they shape travel rhythm in a Big Ten schedule. The Oregon State additions also keep the in-state rivalry alive beyond the immediate nonconference calendar.
What to watch next: Summer recruiting commitments, roster movement before fall camp, and any additional kickoff/TV assignments.
