Mariners drop regularly scheduled blowout, 6-0
Woo falters early, bats go quiet as M’s settle for series win and 4-2 homestand
On August 26, 2026, in Seattle, Washington, the Seattle Mariners experienced a significant blowout loss, falling 6-0 to the Philadelphia Phillies at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners had been aiming to secure a division sweep against strong National League teams, the Astros and Rangers. However, the Phillies took an early lead in the first inning, with Kyle Schwarber driving in two runs with a ground-rule double and Bryce Harper committing an error to extend the lead to 2-0.
The Mariners' starting pitcher, Bryan Woo, struggled throughout the game, walking five batters and allowing nine runs. Despite his efforts, Woo only struck out five Phillies batters and topped out at 99 mph on his fastball. The Mariners' lineup, which included several regular starters on the bench, struggled against the Phillies' pitching, with only two hits in the first four innings.
The Mariners' bullpen struggles also played a role, as they failed to secure any outs after the Phillies' second inning. Overall, the Mariners' loss to the Phillies marked a disappointing end to the series and highlighted the need for improvements in both pitching and offensive strategies moving forward.
