Daily Seahawks, Mariners & Ducks Update — June 17, 2026
Gilbert shoves, Raleigh returns, and Seattle banks a clean 3–1 win
The Mariners gave Ben the real game action of the morning: a tidy 3–1 win over Baltimore at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday night, built on Logan Gilbert’s power start and one big swing-sequence from the returning Cal Raleigh.
Gilbert was the story on the mound, allowing one earned run on two hits over seven innings while striking out 10. Baltimore scratched first in the opening inning, but Seattle answered in the third on Julio Rodríguez’s RBI single, then finally broke the game open in the seventh.
The turning point was Raleigh’s two-run single in the seventh, scoring Victor Robles and Colt Emerson. That mattered twice: it gave Seattle the lead for good, and it came in Raleigh’s return from the injured list. J.P. Crawford also returned and made his third-base debut, giving the lineup a healthier, more interesting shape.
Andrés Muñoz finished it for his 11th save, and the Mariners moved to 38–36. The caveat: Randy Arozarena landed on the injured list with a hamstring issue, so the win came with a lineup-health bill attached.

Seattle Mariners
Raleigh and Crawford return; Gilbert does the heavy lifting
Seattle beat Baltimore 3–1 Tuesday night. Gilbert’s line — seven innings, two hits, one run, 10 strikeouts — gave the Mariners exactly the low-stress pitching night they needed. Raleigh supplied the game-winner with a two-run single in the seventh; Rodríguez had Seattle’s other RBI.
Standouts: Gilbert earned the win, Muñoz recorded save No. 11, Raleigh drove in two, and Crawford reached three times in his return. The team is now 38–36, still in the AL West/Wild Card grind rather than safely separated from the pack.
Injury/roster note: Randy Arozarena went to the injured list with a hamstring injury; Seattle called up High-A outfielder PJ Washington, per MLB.com’s Mariners feed.
What to watch next: George Kirby gets Baltimore tonight at 6:40 p.m. PT, with Kyle Bradish listed for the Orioles.
Oregon Ducks Football
Recruiting takes the baton in a quiet football week
No Ducks football game, practice result, or official GoDucks football news release surfaced this morning. The useful update is recruiting: USA Today network coverage reported movement around Oregon targets/commits, including Sam Ngata locking in with Oregon and Dakota Guerrant as a major 2027 receiver pickup.
Why it matters: June is roster-building season. For Oregon in the Big Ten era, stacking blue-chip skill talent is not a luxury; it is the price of staying in the playoff conversation.
What to watch next: official confirmation from Oregon channels, camp visit fallout, and any Big Ten media/schedule notes.
