SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners enter an off-day Thursday coming off the team's best stretch of the season.

The Mariners have won three-straight series, including its two most recent series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets, respectively, at T-Mobile Park.

Seattle had an eight-game win streak snapped in an unceremonious 7-1 loss to the Mets in the third game of the series Wednesday, but the group still maintains a two-game lead atop the American League West.

Here's multiple takeaways from the Mariners' 5-1 homestand against Arizona and New York:

Seattle's offense was one of the most potent in baseball last season in terms of hitting home runs. The M's ranked third in the majors with 238 homers in 2025.

The Mariners were expected to take a step back in that regard this season with the departures of third baseman Eugenio Suarez and second baseman Jorge Polanco. Starting catcher Cal Raleigh, who's currently on the injured list with a right oblique strain, also wasn't expected to replicate his major league-leading 60 home runs from last season.

This season, Seattle ranks fifth in the majors with 82 homers, and this most recent homestand played a large part in the team's minimal drop off in yard-clearing hits from a season ago.

The Mariners hit 16 home runs across the six-game homestand. The blasts came from some of the usual suspects, such as center fielder Julio Rodriguez.

But several contributors from the bottom half of the order, such as backup first baseman Patrick Wisdom and catcher Jhonny Pereda, also hit homers.

Aside from the Mariners' final game of the homestand, in which several facets of the team had poor showings, Seattle had arguably its most balanced stretch of pitching performances to go with the offense.

Other than George Kirby (who started against Arizona on May 29 and New York on Wednesday), no starting pitcher allowed more than three earned runs.

The bullpen combined to allow only five earned runs, two of which came against the Mets on Wednesday in low-leverage.

If Seattle wishes to run away with the division, all areas of the team will need to perform on a consistent basis. This homestand was the first sign this season that the M's are capable of doing just that.

The Mariners will have the day-off Thursday before beginning a 10-game road trip, which will take place from June 5-June 14.

The road trip will begin with the first of a three-game series between Seattle and The Detroit Tigers at 3:40 p.m. PT on Friday at Comerica Park in Detroit.
