The Corner Rundown: Guardians 6, Mariners 5 (10 innings)
Date: Saturday, March 28, 2026
Matchup: Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners
Location: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, Washington
🔥 Key Performers
Chase DeLauter stayed absurdly hot and delivered the biggest swing of the night, crushing a two-run homer in the 10th that gave Cleveland the lead for good. That made it four home runs in his first three games — which is just ridiculous no matter how early it is.
José Ramírez helped get the Guardians back in it with an RBI double in the sixth, and in the process joined Tris Speaker and Nap Lajoie as the only players in franchise history with 400 or more doubles.
Kyle Manzardo followed Ramírez with an RBI single in the same inning, helping Cleveland erase an early 2-0 deficit.
Joey Cantillo only lasted 3 2/3 innings, but Cleveland’s bullpen kept the game within reach long enough for the offense to flip it late.
Connor Brogdon had to sweat through a tense bottom of the 10th, but he finished the job and locked down his first save of the season.
On Seattle’s side, Julio Rodríguez came through with a game-tying RBI single in the ninth, and Luke Raley nearly stole it back with a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th.
📝 Game Summary
This one had some bite to it.
Seattle jumped in front early, and for a while it looked like Bryan Woo might just slam the door. He punched out nine and kept Cleveland quiet through the first five innings before the Guardians finally cracked through in the sixth. Ramírez ripped an RBI double, Manzardo followed with a run-scoring single, and suddenly the game was tied.
The Mariners answered late and forced the extra-frame drama, with Rodríguez tying it in the ninth. But Cleveland answered right back in the 10th when DeLauter unloaded on an elevated fastball and sent it over the wall in left. Just like that, the Guardians had breathing room at 6-3.
Of course, it didn’t stay comfortable. Raley’s two-run shot in the bottom half made it a one-run game and turned the final outs into a sweat-fest. Brogdon steadied himself, got the strikeouts Cleveland needed, and the Guardians escaped with a 6-5 win and a 2-1 series lead.
