The Milwaukee Brewers delivered a commanding performance against the Seattle Mariners on July 23, 2025, at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, securing a decisive 10-2 victory to clinch the series two games to one. The Brewers showcased a potent offense and solid pitching, overcoming the Mariners despite the absence of Seattle’s home run leader Cal Raleigh, who was rested for the game.
With an attendance of 41,449 fans witnessing the action, the Brewers wasted no time asserting their dominance. The game, lasting 2 hours and 26 minutes, featured an impressive 17-hit display by Milwaukee, led by Brice Turang, who drove in three runs with three hits. Starting pitcher Quinn Priester was equally impressive, going seven innings and allowing only two earned runs on six hits while striking out six batters. Priester improved his record to 9-2, helping the Brewers improve to 61-41 on the season.
The Mariners, sitting at 54-48, started Mitch Garver at catcher in place of the rested Cal Raleigh, who leads Major League Baseball with 39 home runs. Seattle’s right-hander Luis Castillo struggled, giving up six runs on ten hits with seven strikeouts over five innings, marking a season-high in runs allowed for him.
The Brewers struck early in the second inning with a clutch sequence of three straight hits. Blake Perkins doubled to left field, scoring Tyler Black and Isaac Collins, giving Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. However, the Mariners quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning. Dominic Canzone doubled to right, bringing in Jorge Polanco, followed by Ben Williamson’s RBI single that scored Canzone, tying the game at 2-2.
Milwaukee regained the lead in the fourth inning with a three-run surge. Joey Ortiz singled to right, scoring Collins, who had been on base, to make it 3-2. Brice Turang followed with an infield single to third, driving in Seigler and pushing the score to 4-2. William Contreras then singled to center, scoring Ortiz and extending the Brewers’ lead to 5-2. A pivotal moment came when Collins scored the go-ahead run by beating Canzone’s throw from right field and Garber’s tag at home plate, showcasing Milwaukee’s aggressive base running and clutch hitting.
The Brewers continued to pile on runs in the middle innings. Tyler Black singled to center in the fifth inning, scoring Jackson Chourio and making it 6-2. Chourio himself contributed an RBI single to right in the sixth inning, bringing home Turang and increasing the margin to 7-2. Turang was a standout performer throughout the game, adding a two-run double to right field in the seventh inning that scored Ortiz and Seigler, pushing the Brewers’ advantage to 9-2. Contreras capped the scoring with a single to left that brought Turang home, finalizing the score at 10-2.
This victory marked a strong bounce-back for the Brewers, who had their 11-game winning streak snapped the previous night by the Mariners in a 1-0 loss. That game featured a solo home run by Cal Raleigh in the sixth inning, which was the only run scored. The Brewers’ ability to respond with such a dominant offensive and pitching performance highlighted their resilience and depth.
Over the three-game series, the Brewers allowed just three runs total, emphasizing their pitching staff's effectiveness against Seattle’s lineup. Quinn Priester’s strong outing was a key factor, as he limited the Mariners’ hitters to six hits and kept them off balance throughout his seven innings on the mound.
The Mariners’ decision to rest Raleigh was notable, given his status as the MLB home run leader, but it did not prevent the Brewers from taking advantage and securing the series win. Seattle’s pitching woes, particularly Castillo’s struggles, were exploited by Milwaukee’s aggressive batting approach.
Looking ahead, the Brewers will enjoy a day off on Thursday, July 24, before hosting the Miami Marlins on Friday, July 25. The pitching matchup will feature Florida’s right-hander Cal Quantrill, who holds a 3-8 record with a 5.24 ERA, against Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta, who boasts an impressive 12-4 record and a 2.85 ERA. This upcoming game will be an important test for the Brewers as they aim to maintain their strong position in the standings and continue their push toward the postseason.
The Brewers' recent series victory over the Mariners not only demonstrated their offensive firepower but also their ability to capitalize on pitching opportunities and game situations. With key contributors like Turang and Contreras stepping up, and Priester anchoring the rotation, Milwaukee is poised to keep their momentum going in the coming weeks.
Seattle, meanwhile, will need to regroup and find ways to bolster their pitching staff and offensive output, especially with key players like Raleigh resting or unavailable at times. The Mariners' resilience will be tested as they look to close the gap in the competitive American League West division.
As the season progresses, the Brewers’ combination of strategic hitting and solid pitching will be crucial in their quest for playoff success. Their ability to respond after a tough loss with such a commanding win speaks volumes about their team character and depth.
