The Mariners wrapped up a heartwarming day with a win over the Blue Jays and a powerful community show — nearly the entire roster joined in their annual Little League Challenger game, playing catch, helping kids run bases, and signing autographs. On the field, strong pitching and timely offense led to a decisive victory: Emerson Hancock anchored the mound with smart, strike-heavy stuff, Mitch Garver crushed a two-run homer in the fourth, and closer Andrés Muñoz locked it down with three strikeouts. It was a perfect blend of heart, hustle, and home runs.

Lazaro Montes is crushing it—literally—this June, blasting 12 homers and swatting .400 with a jaw-dropping 1.199 OPS to win Minor League Hitter of the Month. His power’s always been there, but now he’s making adjustments, reaching base in 21 of 25 games and even improving his splits by hitting more at home.

The decision could shape his path to the majors—and whether he’s ready to handle the pressure of the big leagues.
