The Story
The Seattle Mariners closed out Texas 8-0 at T-Mobile Park on September 29, 2023, delivering a dominant shutout that was effectively decided in the span of a single inning. The DiamondIQ model opened the game with Seattle as a modest 53% favorite, but by the time the third inning concluded that estimate had climbed to 100%, reflecting just how thoroughly the Mariners buried the Rangers in that stretch.
The decisive sequence unfolded entirely in the bottom of the third against Nathan Eovaldi. Ty France delivered the game's highest-leverage blow, a home run that added 10.6 percentage points to Seattle's win probability and led all batters in WPA at plus 13.4 on the night. Josh Rojas followed with his own home run, worth plus 9.9 percentage points in the moment and ultimately the highest single-game WPA figure among position players at plus 14.1. Eugenio Suarez then laced a double that pushed Seattle's advantage further, contributing plus 9.1 percentage points on the play. On the other side of the ledger, Josh Jung's flyout in the top of the third cost Texas 8.0 percentage points, and Adolis Garcia's strikeout surrendered another 6.7, underscoring how thoroughly Bryan Woo neutralized any Texas threat in that pivotal frame.
Woo was the pillar of the performance, finishing as the game's top pitcher by WPA at plus 12.5 percentage points. Texas managed just three hits across nine innings and never threatened seriously after the third, with Tayler Saucedo and Trent Thornton holding the line in relief. The Rangers were held scoreless on a night when Seattle's offense concentrated its damage efficiently and its pitching staff allowed no margin for a comeback.
