Mexico’s Andrés Muñoz reached 34 saves in the 2025 MLB season, as he closed out the Seattle Mariners’ 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at T-Mobile Park. The Sinaloa-born closer continues to establish himself as one of the most reliable arms in the Major Leagues.
Meanwhile, Cuban-born, naturalized Mexican Randy Arozarena was key in the offense with a three-run home run and four RBIs in total, confirming his power in the Seattle lineup.
Arozarena on fire with the wood
In the third inning, Arozarena hit a three-run home run that ignited the Seattle crowd and turned the score around.
Later, in the fourth inning, he produced again with a sacrifice fly that brought another run to the plate.
His offensive contribution was decisive in securing the Mariners’ lead.
Arozarena accumulates solid numbers in 2025, reaffirming himself as one of the most dangerous pieces of the team and a Latin reference in the Major Leagues.
Seattle bullpen dominance
The Mariners bullpen did an impeccable job:
In five combined innings, his pitchers allowed just two hits and struck out seven.
That solidity in the final part of the game allowed the offense to make the difference and the team to add its fourth consecutive victory.
