Kirby wins 3rd straight start, Naylor homers in Mariners' 3-2 win over
Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (AP) --- George Kirby won his third consecutive start, Josh Naylor
hit a solo home run and the Seattle Mariners beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2
on Friday night.
Kirby (4-2) allowed five hits and two runs in six innings. He was lifted after
giving up leadoff single in the seventh.
Andrs Muoz, an All Star in 2025, worked the ninth for his fourth save.
The Mariners have played 10 one-run games this season, going 4-6. St. Louis
fell to 11-3 in games decided by two runs or fewer in 2026.
Seattle has won five consecutive games and six of its seven games against the
Cardinals.
Naylor broke a 2-2 tie when he led off the sixth by slamming a fastball 418
feet off Andre Pallante (2-2). Naylor had a walk-off single in the bottom of
the ninth of Seattle's 5-4 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Pallante struck out eight and walked three while giving up four hits in 5 1/3
innings.
The Cardinals rallied from a 2-0 deficit when Masyn Winn hit a two-out bloop
single to short right, scoring Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman.
Seattle went up 1-0 in the second. Former Cardinal Randy Arozarena led off with
a double and scored on a two-out single to center by Cole Young.
The Mariners extended their lead to 2-0 on a two-out single by Dominic Canzone
to drive in Naylor in the fourth inning.
