Fresh off a dominant pitching performance and some clutch and timely hitting, the Athletics take on the Seattle Mariners in game three of a four game series at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park. Friday’s game was one of more than a few firsts:

Julio Rodríguez hit a towering 438-foot, two-run homer in the sixth to give Seattle the lead, and Bryan Woo pitched six dominant innings and the Mariners beat the Athletics 2-1.
