Asked Clowney about Wilson postgame: “That’s half the reason I wanted to come (to Seattle), because of Russ. He makes it happen. I don’t care what the score is — it could be 100-0 — he believes. As long as you got a guy like that, a guy who never quits …I’m gonna ride with him.”
Naylor on returning to Seattle:
“I love playing there. I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends who have watched me play or ex-teammates I’ve played with … on how awesome it is in Seattle and how cool the fan base is and it’s super awesome to be a part of.”
Back home, Josh Naylor hit a memorable home run in front of dozens of family and friends.
He’s now eager to get back to his new home in Seattle to try to help the Mariners reach the franchise’s first World Series.

Cal Raleigh got a little emotional talking about Logan Gilbert tonight.
"I can't say enough about his character and what he did. It makes me proud to be his teammate and his friend."
Thirty years ago, Randy Johnson came in to provide key playoff innings out of the bullpen.
In Game 5, Logan Gilbert provided another clutch bullpen outing for the Mariners.

Mariners' Gabe Speier:
“I've never heard the clubhouse so loud after a win. It was a special moment. Like, not a realization, because I've realized as the year’s gone on that we've got what it takes, but it was kind of a ‘holy crap’ moment. I believe in this team.”
The Mariners held on for a heart-pounding 6-4 victory over the Astros, clinching a crucial series win and building on their AL West lead.
