The Seattle Mariners were well represented at this year’s All-Star Game in Atlanta.

The Mariners had five total selections to this year’s game, their highest since 2002. Four of those picks – catcher Cal Raleigh, left fielder Randy Arozarena, starting pitcher Bryan Woo and closer Andrés Muñoz – made the trip to Truist Park. Center fielder Julio Rodríguez, who was named to the team as a reserve, decided not to attend this year’s event.

Here’s a look at how all four Mariners in Atlanta fared during the Midsummer Classic, which the National League won via the All-Star Game’s Home Run Derby-style tiebreaker after finishing in a 6-6 tie through nine innings.

• Cal Raleigh

Raleigh, a first-time All-Star, started at catcher and batted fourth for the American League. The switch-hitting slugger went 1 for 2 with a sharp single to right field off Mets left-hander David Peterson. Raleigh was also robbed of extra bases in his first at bat on a sliding grab at the warning track by National League left fielder Kyle Tucker.

After winning the Home Run Derby on Monday night, Raleigh successfully made the first challenge using the Automated Ball-Strike System in All-Star Game history. His challenge of a called ball on a changeup from AL starter Tarik Skubal was overturned for a third strike on Padres third baseman Manny Machado.

• Bryan Woo

Woo, a first-time All-Star, pitched a scoreless frame and didn’t allow a baserunner during the third inning with Raleigh behind the plate. The highlight of the night for the Mariners’ right-hander came when struck out Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. swinging on a 98 mph fastball.

All eight pitches Woo threw were fastballs – six four-seamers and two sinkers.

• Randy Arozarena

Arozarena, a two-time All-Star, went 0 for 3 after coming into the game as a defensive replacement in right field for Yankees star Aaron Judge during the fifth inning. Arozarena just missed a home run off flamethrowing Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski in the eighth on a flyball that was caught at the wall in center field. He was a victim of the challenge system during a tie game in the ninth inning when a called ball was overturned to a third strike that ended the frame and stranded the go-ahead runner on second base.

Arozarena was also one of three AL players to compete in the All-Star Game tiebreaker. The “swing-off” tiebreaker featured three players from each team getting three swings, with the team finishing with the most home runs being named the winner. Arozarena hit one home run during the tiebreaker.

• Andres Muñoz

Muñoz, a two-time All-Star, pitched two-thirds of an inning, struck out a batter and walked one. The hard-throwing right-hander stranded two runners on base with a well-placed 99.6-mph fastball at the bottom of the zone to fan Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers looking. Stowers challenged the called third strike to no avail.
