Pacheco set the tone early, striking out Mariners top prospect Colt Emerson for the first out of the game. The southpaw out of Santo Domingo allowed just three baserunners and finished with seven punchouts across five scoreless frames.

Aidan Longwell delivered Spokane's first home run of the season—a two-run shot in the bottom of the fourth—while Jared Thomas capped off the scoring with an opposite-field solo blast in the eighth. Skyler Messinger finished 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles and Andy Perez reached base twice to boost his team-best OPS to 1.083 through the season's first three games.

Hunter Mann, Davis Palermo, and Welinton Herrera combined for 10 strikeouts over the game's final four frames to close out the win.
