Raleigh homers twice, struggling Rangers held to three hits in Mariners' 13-1 win

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit a grand slam among his two homers, bringing his season total to a major league-leading 12, and Bryan Woo allowed only one single over 6 1/3 innings as the Seattle Mariners beat the struggling Texas Rangers 13-1 on Friday.

Raleigh gave Seattle a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning and his grand slam highlighted a seven-run fifth.

Woo (4-1) retired the first 14 batters before Jonah Heim singled on a first-pitch fastball to center field with two out in the fifth. He struck out eight and walked none, throwing 87 pitches.

Julio Rodríguez hit a two-run homer to straight-away center in the sixth inning.

The AL West-leading Mariners (19-12) have won five consecutive games, their longest winning streak since an eight-game run in August 2023.

The Rangers (16-17) have lost eight of their last 10 games and dropped below .500 for the first time since their Opening Day loss to Boston. Last in the AL with 104 runs, they were shut out for 22 consecutive innings until Josh Smith's solo homer with two out in the ninth.

Jack Leiter (2-1) gave up six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Rangers reserve catcher Tucker Barnhart pitched the final two innings, allowing three runs.

Seattle’s Randy Arozarena extended his on-base streak to 26 games with a double and a walk.

Woo retired all 12 batters through four innings but led only 1-0 before Raleigh’s slam broke the game open.

The Mariners had a season-high 17 hits.

Saturday’s middle game of the series will match Mariners RHP Luis Castillo (3-2, 3.62 ERA) against Rangers LHP Patrick Corbin (2-1, 3.79).

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
