Mariners smack 3 home runs in 8-3 victory over Mets for season-high 8th straight win

SEATTLE (AP) — Patrick Wisdom hit his first home run this season, Jhonny Pereda went deep for the second time in the major leagues and the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Mets 8-3 on Tuesday night for their season-high eighth straight victory.

The Mariners (33-29) improved to a season-best four games over .500 on the strength of another stellar offensive performance. Seattle smacked three home runs, increasing its total to 21 during a winning streak that is the team's longest since rattling off eight consecutive victories in September last season.

Wisdom got the Mariners on the board in the second inning with a two-run shot off Mets opener Huascar Brazobán. It was Wisdom’s first home run since Sept. 21, 2024, with the Chicago Cubs.

New York tied it in the third on a two-run homer by rookie Carson Benge, who added a solo shot off Logan Gilbert (4-4) in the sixth. It was the first multi-homer game of Benge’s major league career.

Gilbert allowed three runs and struck out eight in 5 1/3 innings.

Seattle supplied the rest of the offense. Julio Rodríguez, who homered in the sixth, lofted a sacrifice fly in the fourth off Jonah Tong (1-1) to score Wisdom.

Rodríguez’s 13th homer tied him with Luke Raley for the team lead. Rodríguez led the American League with 10 home runs in May.

Pereda, who hit his first career home run on May 20, connected for a three-run drive against Tong that made it 7-2 in the fifth.

The Mariners were minus first baseman Josh Naylor, who was out of the lineup after exiting Monday night’s victory over the Mets with back spasms.

Mariners right-hander George Kirby (5-4, 3.77 ERA) starts Wednesday afternoon opposite Mets righty Freddy Peralta (3-4, 3.55).

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 3, 2026--

Suralink, the agentic automation platform for accounting firms and their clients, today announced multiple major additions to its agentic AI capabilities, as well as native integrations with two of the leading agentic platforms.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260603354048/en/

Suralink’s expanded AI capabilities are primarily focused on addressing the Rework Cycle, which is the #1 cause of engagement inefficiency and the #1 issue preventing AI from delivering on its transformational potential for the accounting industry. The Rework Cycle is rooted in the Client Readiness Gap, and is the redundant work accounting firms incur when they are given inaccurate or incomplete data by their clients. When firms apply AI to this inaccurate client data after it has entered their systems, the AI actually causes even more unnecessary rework for the firm.

Suralink’s Agent Library, which includes five powerful new agents that enable firm and client users to deliver their most efficient engagements ever. Two of these agents, Document Prescreen Agent and Data Vouching Agent, are combined into Suralink’s new Cloud Testing Suite, which fully automates the prescreening of client data and completes initial testing without firm users needing to do anything.

In addition, Suralink’s Excel-based Workpaper Suite Intelligence and new native connectors with Copilot and Claude bring the power of Suralink’s AI capabilities across all parts of its fully integrated Request-to-Review platform.

“As the ‘Front Door’ of all client data that comes into accounting firms, Suralink has always been the best-positioned platform to enable firms and their clients to realize the full potential of agentic AI," said Evan Fitzpatrick, CEO of Suralink. “With our ability to prescreen client data at the time of upload, then automatically conduct testing procedures and deliver ready-to-review results, we empower firms to eliminate the Rework Cycle and fully close the Client Readiness Gap.”

Serving over 50% of the top 100 firms, the impact of Suralink’s platform is best demonstrated by its customers' success. In 2025, Suralink customers grow 84% faster than their peers, and top 20 firms like Eide Bially LLP have publicly championed the strong ROI they have captured by moving to Suralink’s fully integrated Request-to-Review platform.
