Guardians spoil Mariners’ 50th season opener with 6-4 victory

DeLauter, a top prospect, hit two home runs in his debut, becoming the sixth player to do so, helping the Guardians win 6-4 in their season opener.

  • On Thursday, March 26, 2026, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-4 in their season opener, with rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter homering twice in his regular-season debut.
  • DeLauter, the 16th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, became the fifth player in Cleveland's 126-year franchise history to hit a home run in his first career regular-season at-bat.
  • Jose Ramirez broke a tie with a two-run double in the seventh inning to reclaim the lead, while relievers Connor Brogdon and Cade Smith secured the victory.
  • The Mariners' Dominic Canzone hit two solo home runs in the loss, setting up a competitive four-game series that resumes Friday night in Seattle.
  • Manager Stephen Vogt noted there will be a 'learning curve' for the 24-year-old, though early discourse suggests DeLauter could contend for AL Rookie of the Year honors.
