美國職棒大聯盟（MLB）季後賽戰況持續升溫，今日的焦點戰役落在西雅圖水手與多倫多藍鳥之間的系列賽首戰。最終，水手隊在客場以強悍的韌性與關鍵火力擊退藍鳥隊，成功先拔頭籌。比賽的轉折點出現在第六局上半，水手隊強打捕手 卡爾·羅利（Cal Raleigh）轟出一支陽春全壘打，為球隊吹響反攻號角。這一棒不僅幫助球隊追平比數，更徹底點燃了水手的進攻火力。

卡爾·羅利素有「藍鳥殺手」之稱，今日再度印證了這個稱號的真實性。根據統計，羅利職業生涯在多倫多羅傑斯中心（Rogers Centre）出賽的14場比賽中，竟然擊出了 9支全壘打，幾乎場場都有驚人表現，堪稱藍鳥投手群的惡夢。這支全壘打飛越右外野牆後，全場瞬間鴉雀無聲，水手替補席則爆發出如同主場般的歡呼。

羅利的全壘打成為比賽的轉折點，水手隊也趁勢在接下來的進攻中發動反攻。第七局，水手把握得點圈難得的機會，由老將豪爾赫·波蘭科（Jorge Polanco）打出關鍵安打，幫助球隊再添兩分，將比分反超。這兩分成為全場致勝的關鍵，最終水手以穩健的牛棚守成，將勝利收入囊中。

這場勝利的意義不僅在於系列賽的開門紅，更代表著水手在經過與底特律老虎的艱苦系列戰後，仍保持極佳的比賽節奏與鬥志。球隊剛結束與老虎隊的對戰，體力與調整時間都相當有限，但依然能在被外界看好的藍鳥主場拿下首勝，展現強大的抗壓能力與團隊默契。

比賽結束後，羅利在受訪時淡然地表示：「我只是盡力讓球隊有機會贏球。能在這裡打出好球感覺很棒，但更重要的是球隊能拿下系列賽的第一勝。」教練團則對全隊的韌性給予高度肯定，特別稱讚羅利不僅在打擊端發揮關鍵作用，也在防守與配球上穩定軍心。

水手隊如今在系列賽中以1比0領先，帶著強烈的信心與氣勢迎接接下來的比賽。對於渴望重返國聯冠軍賽舞台的他們而言，這場勝利無疑是一劑強心針。而「藍鳥殺手」卡爾·羅利的傳奇，也在羅傑斯中心再添一筆難以複製的紀錄。

 “Blue Jays Killer!” — Seattle Mariners’ power slugger Cal Raleigh lived up to his nickname once again. In the top of the 6th inning, Raleigh launched a solo home run to tie the game, sparking a comeback rally that eventually led the Mariners to take the opening game of the series against the heavily favored Toronto Blue Jays.

After Raleigh’s blast, the Mariners capitalized on a rare scoring opportunity, with Jorge Polanco delivering a crucial hit that drove in two more runs. This offensive burst proved decisive, as Seattle’s bullpen shut the door and secured a hard-fought road victory at Rogers Centre.

What makes Raleigh’s performance particularly impressive is his remarkable record in Toronto. With this latest home run, he has now hit nine homers in just fourteen career games at Rogers Centre — a stunning achievement that cements his reputation as a true nemesis for the Blue Jays.

Coming off a recently concluded series against the Detroit Tigers, the Mariners showed resilience and energy despite the quick turnaround. Few expected them to strike first against a confident Toronto squad, but Seattle’s combination of power hitting and clutch pitching delivered a statement win to open the series.
