Mitch Garver

Yuck. Thorpe was fantastic in his previous few starts. This was ugly. He almost escaped a bases-loaded jam scoreless in the first, but a two-run double by Jason Vosler was followed by an RBI double by Mitch Garver; and Josh Rojas, Dylan Moore and Victor Robles went back-to-back-to-back. This saw Thorpe's ERA jump up to 4.81 from 3.03. He should be better -- he can't be worse -- Wednesday against the Royals.

Garver also drew two walks. The 33-year-old was able to double in a run in the first inning and came around to score on a three-run blast by Josh Rojas. Garver has been unplayable in 2024 with a .177/.296/.353 slash and hasn't been a regular for Seattle as of late. Maybe this jump starts him for the final 50-plus games of 2024.

Hader struck out Mitch Garver and didn't allow a hit while procuring his 19th save of the campaign. The left-hander has blown just one save on the season even while posting a relatively-high 3.77 ERA.

The man they call J-Rod smashed an opposite-field homer with Mitch Garver on off Tyler Anderson to give Seattle a 2-0 lead and Rodriguez his 10th homer of the campaign. He also singled twice. Fantasy managers are far too familiar with how streaky the 23-year-old has been over his career, but one of those hot runs appears to be happening just before the break.
