According to Mariners’ researcher Alex Mayer on social media:
“The Reds avoided being no-hit in an exhibition game for the first time since they were no-hit by the Dayton Veterans on July 17, 1910 (this is actually real).”
The Reds’ offense struggled throughout the game, managing to secure their first hit only in the bottom of the eighth inning when Jacob Hurtubise singled off Reid VanScoter. Despite featuring several regulars in the lineup such as TJ Friedl, Jeimer Candelario, Tyler Stephenson, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, the Reds struggled to make an impact at the plate.
The Mariners’ pitching staff displayed dominance, with contributions from key players like frontline starter Luis Castillo, relievers Austin Voth, Heath Hembree, Ty Buttrey, and Joey Krehbiel, who combined for five strikeouts over seven innings.
This victory propelled the Mariners to a 1-2 record in the spring, while the loss dropped the Reds to 2-1. Looking ahead to the regular season, Seattle aims to build upon their third-place finish in a competitive American League West division, with both the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros reaching the ALCS last season.
Meanwhile, the Reds seek improvement after finishing third in the National League Central. Having missed the playoffs since the COVID-shortened 2020 season, they are determined to make a stronger postseason push this year.
