SEATTLE — Julio Rodríguez hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning to help spoil Jacob deGrom's return to the mound and send the Seattle Mariners to a 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Back after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2023, DeGrom left after 3 2/3 innings with a 2-0 lead and the Rangers had a 4-0 advantage. Rodríguez began Seattle's rally with a double in the seventh that set up two runs. Then in the eighth, he hit his 15th homer of the season to deep left field with two outs off David Robertson (3-4). JT Chargois (3-1) struck out three in the eighth for the victory, and Andrés Muñoz finished for his 21st save.
