Davila allowed an unearned run on one hit and a hit-by-pitch while striking out one in the 10th inning Tuesday to record his first career save in a 6-5 win over the Orioles.
Recalled from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, Davila got the call after Jose Ferrer blew a save chance in the ninth and Randy Arozarena launched a two-run homer in the top of the 10th. Davila nearly blew his save chance too, but he got bailed out after letting the phantom runner come home when Blaze Alexander was thrown out at the plate. The rookie right-hander has yet to give up an earned run for Seattle in eight appearances and 8.1 innings this season, but his 5:6 K:BB highlights how fragile that modest success has been. He's unlikely to see regular high-leverage work behind closer Andres Munoz, Ferrer and Matt Brash.

Davila will return to the big leagues as the roster replacement for Cooper Criswell (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Davila has fired 7.1 shutout innings with the Mariners this season, though he's done so while posting a 4:6 K:BB. He'll likely be limited to middle-relief duty while with Seattle.

The Mariners re-signed Davila to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davila spent the 2025 campaign at Double-A Arkansas, posting a 3.55 ERA and 40:22 K:BB over 50.2 innings. He'll turn 27 later this month and will likely begin the 2026 season in the bullpen at Triple-A Tacoma.
