5+1⁄3 innings. [10] Brash did not play in 2020 because the Minor League Baseball was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9]

Seattle Mariners

On September 17, 2020, Brash was traded to the Seattle Mariners as the player to be named later for in a previous trade sending reliever Taylor Williams to the Padres. [11] Brash began the 2021 season with the High-A Everett AquaSox and was promoted to the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in July. [12] On September 2, Brash threw six perfect innings to start a combined no-hitter, finished by relievers Nate Fisher and Dayeison Arias. [13] That capped a stretch of three straight starts with at least 10 strikeouts. [14] For the season, Brash went a combined 6–4 with a 2.31 ERA and 142 strikeouts over 97+1⁄3 innings in 19 starts and 1 relief appearance. [15] [5] On September 28, Seattle selected Brash's contract to the 40-man roster and promoted him to the major leagues for the first time, although he did not make an appearance. [16] [17]

On April 2, 2022, the Mariners announced that Brash would be the team's fifth starter in its Opening Day rotation. [18] He made his MLB debut on April 12, striking out six in 5+1⁄3 innings but allowing the only run in a 1–0 loss to the Chicago White Sox. [19] After five starts with a 7.65 ERA and 17 walks in 20 innings, [20] the Mariners optioned Brash down to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. In the minors, Brash converted to a reliever and lowered his walk rate moderately, pitching in 26 games and earning 3 saves. [5] The Mariners recalled him on July 9 and he became a setup man for the team, earning 9 holds and a 3–1 record in the final three months of the season. Brash was the winning pitcher on September when the Mariners clinched their first postseason appearance since 2001, throwing a scoreless inning against the Oakland Athletics [21] before Cal Raleigh's pinch-hit game-winning home run. [22] [23] Brash pitched three times in the 2022 postseason, getting 4 strikeouts in 3+1⁄3 perfect innings. [24]

Brash started 2023 slowly, blowing 3 saves and picking up two losses in his first 11 games. His performance improved, with only 2 blown saves and two losses the rest of the season. He earned his first MLB save on April 30, pitching a scoreless 10th inning against the Blue Jays. [25] He led the American League by pitching in 78 games in 2023. He had a 9—4 record with 4 saves and a 3.06 ERA, getting 107 strikeouts in 70+2⁄3 innings. [26]

Brash did not pitch for the Mariners in 2024. He began the season on the injured list with right elbow inflammation [27] and underwent Tommy John surgery on May 8, ending his season and likely delaying the start of his 2025 season. [28]

International career

Brash is on the roster for the Canadian national baseball team. [29] He pitched once in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, striking out all three Great Britain batters he faced to finish an 18–8 win. [30] [31]
