The 2022 Seattle Mariners season was the 46th season in franchise history. The Mariners played their 23rd full season (24th overall) at T-Mobile Park, their home ballpark in Seattle, Washington. The Mariners finished the regular season at 90–72, equaling their record from 2021, and successfully reached the postseason for the first time since 2001. On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 8. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders. On July 17, the Mariners became the first team to enter the All-Star break with a 14-game winning streak, their second longest in club history. For the 21st season in a row, the Mariners failed to win the AL West. On September 30, Cal Raleigh hit a walk-off home run against the Oakland Athletics, clinching their first playoff berth since 2001. It ended the longest major professional sports postseason drought in North America. They defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the Wild Card Series but lost to the eventual champion Houston Astros in the Division Series in a three-game sweep, complete with an 18-inning loss where they failed to score a single run in the first postseason game played in Seattle since October 18, 2001.
