Former Texas Rangers catcher Mitch Garver hit a game-tying, two-run homer in the first to help the Seattle Mariners win the series opener.
He jumped on an Andrew Heaney slider for the game-tying homer to center field. That erased the Rangers two runs in the top of the first. Marcus Semien singled and scored on Nathaniel Lowe's two-out double, and Wyatt Langford singled in Lowe for the 2-0 lead.
Luis Castillo shut the Rangers down, however, over the next five innings, allowing just a single and a walk over the five innings. He struck out seven in six innings. A couple of leadoff singles in the third led to the Mariners' go-ahead run on a force out. Heaney allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.
"It felt good," Garver told Apple TV. "I've faced Andrew a few times in the past and caught him also, so I know what the shape look like."Jun 14, 2024; Seattle, Washington, USA; Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, left, gets thrown out of a game by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza during the fourth inning against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
