MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach hit consecutive home runs for Minnesota in the first inning off Seattle starter George Kirby, and the Twins hung on to beat the Mariners 6-3 and help Chris Paddack win his fourth straight start on Wednesday night. Willi Castro went deep in the second and hit an RBI triple in the fourth that put the Twins in front by three, giving Paddack (4-1) enough fuel to extend his career-long winning streak. The right-hander, who missed most of the previous two seasons recovering from elbow reconstruction, matched his Twins best with 10 strikeouts while pitching into the sixth.

Their starting pitcher didn't provide the somewhat typical quality start and the bullpen couldn't keep their rally hopes alive. Not even Cal Raleigh could rescue the Mariners from their overall mediocrity and looming defeat, though he sure tried and came close. Given their tepid offense, inconsistent run production and propensity to strike out so often, the Mariners are almost totally reliant on the starting pitching to be somewhere from great to outstanding every game. Sure, the Mariners offense has provided one-off exceptions to this trend of baseball, including a win 24 hours earlier where they scored 10 runs.

Prior to their game last Sunday in Houston, the Mariners' starting pitchers had allowed 20 earned runs in their previous 21 starts. What's more, there was amazing consistency involved In those 21 starts, since no one gave up more than two earned runs. For more than three weeks, the Fab Five — Luis Castillo, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller and Emerson Hancock — had nothing but good outings.
