It's a wide-open field this postseason with no clear favorites like last year's Los Angeles Dodgers. No team in baseball this year won more than 97 games, making the 2025 Milwaukee Brewers the losing-est winningest team in baseball since 2013 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 season). That means it's anybody's World Series title to claim including, potentially, one of three franchises that have never before won the Fall Classic.

SEATTLE -- It had been 24 years and five days since this city experienced its last division title, a wait that turned its baseball fans into one of this country's most tortured. Babies were born, grew up, went to college, got a job, and their beloved Seattle Mariners still had not finished atop the American League West. Maybe this is how it was supposed to happen.

The game was moving quickly to start, with both sides getting on base but ultimately not crossing home. In the bottom of the third with two outs, Steven Kwan hit a clean double, his 100th career double, to left to put him in scoring position. He didn't have to hustle to cross home, Daniel Schneemann hit a home run 408 feet to right center to put the Guards up by 2 in one swing.

Robles was ejected after tossing his bat at pitcher Joey Estes following an inside pitch that nearly hit him, prompting a conflict on the field.

Jonathan Cannon recorded his shortest outing of the season, lasting only 1 2/3 innings, and allowed seven runs on four hits in an 8-6 loss.

Andres Munoz has seen his walk rate climb 10 percent in the second half of the season. Munoz has walked at least one batter in five of his last eight appearances, and he's walked multiple batters in two of those appearances.

Josh Naylor's trade to the Seattle Mariners will enhance their lineup, despite concerns over his offensive output potential in T-Mobile Park, known as a challenging hitting environment.

The Mariners traded some prospects to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for first baseman Josh Naylor. The teams are working hard on another deal.

Kade Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Mariners for roughly $8.8MM, significantly below the slot price of $9,504,400 for the third overall pick.
