Soriano allowed three runs and three hits, while Tyler Rogers contributed by striking out two in the eighth inning. Josh Naylor opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run, followed by Taylor Ward's bases-loaded single in the fourth, and Brett Bateman's bases-loaded wild pitch in the fifth, which drove in two runs. The Blue Jays took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning with a bases-loaded wild pitch by Brett Bateman. The Mariners' Kade Anderson pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs and three hits, and struck out three, becoming the third overall pick in 2025.
