History

Historical Context

The Seattle Mariners’ 2001 season set a modern-era record with 116 wins, featuring pitchers Freddy García and rookie Ichiro Suzuki, but the team never reached the World Series and missed the playoffs until 2022. In 2024, a five-game streak highlighted by George Kirby’s six innings and Josh Naylor’s 418-foot homer rekindles the quest for the first postseason series win since 2001.
