Lord (5-9) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four in six innings.

Lord worked four scoreless frames before Atlanta launched solo homers in the fifth and sixth to go ahead 2-1. Lord's results were extremely similar to his last time out when he faced Atlanta at home last week, though this time he was able to make it through six innings. Lord's allowed three runs or fewer in all four of his September starts and is tentatively set to make one final start this weekend against the White Sox.

Munoz picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies, striking out two over a perfect inning.

Munoz carved through the Rockies in the ninth inning, notching two strikeouts to preserve a Mariners win and clinch a postseason berth. The hard-throwing righty has been dominant all season, logging a 1.47 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 61.1 innings. His 38 saves rank third in the majors, behind only Robert Suarez and Carlos Estevez.

Iglesias worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Iglesias needed just 10 pitches to get through the frame to pick up his 28th save on the year. He's now allowed just one run since July 28 and has converted all 17 of his save chances since then. Iglesias has put together another productive campaign for Atlanta, posting a 3.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 70:15 K:BB in 64.1 innings.

Hays tested his back spasms by running on the field Tuesday and said it was "not great," MLB.com reports.

Hays has missed the last two games after experiencing the back issue Saturday. Will Benson has filled in at left field while Hays is unavailable. Both of those starts were against right-handers.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Naylor came through in the clutch, ripping a bases-clearing double with two outs in the eighth inning to put the Mariners ahead and help secure a postseason berth. Since arriving from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, he's maintained his production, posting an .819 OPS in Seattle after logging an .807 mark in Arizona. For the season, the first baseman owns a .292/.351/.461 slash line with 28 doubles, 20 homers, 91 RBI and 28 stolen bases across 144 games.

McCann went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

Once the Diamondbacks got Los Angeles starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani out of the game after six shutout innings, McCann and company scored five times over the final three frames for the comeback win. McCann doubled in the first run and scored the third run in the seventh inning. His sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the ninth put two teammates in scoring position, and they both eventually scored for the win. McCann has been useful to Arizona's late-season push for the playoffs, going 5-for-17 with two doubles, two home runs and eight RBI over his last five games.

Waldrep (6-1) got the win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five in six innings.

Some control issues in the third inning led to a run for the Nationals, but Waldrep was otherwise excellent in what was the final start of his rookie season. Waldrep recorded his first quality start since Aug. 20, but he had just one outing in 10 appearances (nine starts) this season in which he allowed more than three runs. He finishes 2025 with a 2.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55:22 K:BB in 56.1 innings and will certainly be a name to watch for Atlanta next spring as he competes for a spot in the rotation.

Miller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out four.

Miller fell one out shy of a quality start Tuesday, marking his fourth straight outing falling short of six innings, all resulting in no-decisions. After a breakout 2024 season in which he posted a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 31 starts and 180.1 innings, the right-hander has struggled this year to a 5.53 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 17 starts and 86.1 innings around an extended stay on the injured list with elbow trouble. Given the depth of the Mariners' staff, it's fair to question what Miller's role will be in the postseason.

Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Acuna hit a towering home run off Brad Lord in the sixth to push Atlanta ahead 2-1. It was Acuna's second straight game with a homer and his fifth over his last 12 games. Acuna's up to 20 home runs in 91 games, though that's only led to 40 runs driven in for the season.

Harris went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Harris posted his third consecutive multi-hit performance while crushing solo home runs in the fifth and seventh innings. That's now seven hits, four extra-base hits and six RBI over his last three games. Harris has caught fire down the stretch, hitting .350 over his last 10 games, and he is now one homer away from setting a new career high with 20.
