Claim 5: “Will Warren struggled and had allowed three Mariners — Randy Arozarena, Dominic Canzone and Julio Rodríguez — to homer before exiting earlier in the frame.”

DISPUTED

The claim states all three homered in the same inning. However, evidence from FOX Sports states Arozarena and Rodriguez homered in the first, while Canzone homered in the third. This directly contradicts the 'same inning' claim.
