Mariners’ Power Surge Backs Bryce Miller’s Career Night
Seattle’s cleanest story of the morning is at Nationals Park, where the Mariners turned Friday night into a tidy 10–2 win over Washington. Bryce Miller gave them exactly what a June contender wants: length, calm and a bullpen-saving start, working a career-high eight innings according to MLB.com’s game recap.
The lineup made it easy to breathe early. Seattle hung five runs in the second inning, then added three more in the fifth, which turned the rest of the night into maintenance rather than stress. Dominic Canzone supplied the loudest box-score line — 2-for-4 with a homer, a triple and three RBI — while Colt Emerson and Josh Naylor also went deep.
The only cloud: Randy Arozarena left with an apparent hamstring issue. MLB.com reported he is day to day, which is the best version of a scary sentence for a team already managing injuries.
Scoreboard
Seattle Seahawks
Ring Night Closes the Book on a Championship Chapter
No Seahawks game, but Friday brought the kind of offseason update that fans do not mind: the team’s official site posted multiple pieces on the Super Bowl LX ring ceremony and the design of the championship rings.
The football note underneath the jewelry: Seattle wrapped minicamp Thursday, and the next meaningful calendar item is training camp. The team previously announced nine public camp practices beginning July 25, with Football Fest set for Aug. 8 at Lumen Field.
Roster/Injury note The most recent official minicamp notes included injury updates, but there was no new Saturday-morning injury report from the team feed.
What to watch next: training-camp registration, rookie/position-battle chatter, and any post-minicamp roster moves.
Seattle Mariners
Miller Deals, Canzone Thumps, Mariners Roll in D.C.
The Mariners beat the Nationals 10–2 on Friday night, and the turning point came fast: a five-run second inning gave Bryce Miller a cushion and forced Washington into chase mode. Seattle finished with 11 hits and no errors.
- Standout bats: Dominic Canzone went 2-for-4 with a homer, triple and three RBI; Colt Emerson homered and drove in two; Josh Naylor added a solo shot; Luke Raley drove in two.
- Standout arm: Miller’s outing was the headline — MLB.com framed it as one of Seattle’s better pitching performances of the season and a career-first eight-inning start.
- Health watch: Randy Arozarena exited with an apparent hamstring injury; MLB.com listed him as day to day.
What to watch next: Luis Castillo gets today’s start against Cade Cavalli. The immediate swing factor is whether Arozarena is available or Seattle plays it safe.
Oregon Ducks Football
Ducks’ Summer Calendar Is Set; Kickoff Windows Are the Useful News
No Oregon football game yesterday and no fresh official Saturday-morning football item surfaced in the sources checked. The most useful recent official update remains Oregon’s May 27 announcement of multiple 2026 kickoff times and TV assignments.
That matters because June is schedule-shaping season: fans can start planning the early slate, and the Big Ten television windows start to reveal which games the networks think carry national weight. Oregon also announced four future games with Oregon State, keeping the rivalry on the long-term calendar.
What to watch next: recruiting commitments, summer official visits, preseason watch lists, Big Ten media-day notes, and any updated depth-chart signals around the quarterback/offensive line.
