The Mariners are back home in the Emerald City, trying to defend a straight-up streak of perfection, and seriously, we need it. It’s the final month of the season, and our squad is legit far below .500. But listen up, we somehow lucked into the weakest schedule in the majors for the rest of the year! That’s good, because we need to play almost perfect baseball just to finish with our heads above water.
Easy as Pie? Let’s Hope So!
Up next, we’ve got the Athletics rolling into town. Honestly, as one preview detailed, this series “should be easy as pie.” We’ve got a young arm hitting the mound for just his third career start. He was solid in his debut, but just kinda okay last time out. The coaching staff needs him to eat some innings tonight, but they’re also asking him to keep it around 80 pitches. We’re facing their pitcher, and we need our bats to light him up, especially with a power guy back in the lineup after a day off. First pitch is 6:40 p.m. on Mariners.TV or Ol’ Reliable radio.
Another Injury Gut Punch
Before the game, a team official gave us the latest on injuries, and it’s a real bummer. One of our key pitchers, who was trying to make his comeback from the injured list, just suffered another brutal setback. This puts the rest of his entire 2026 season in serious doubt. Ugh. Notes on this injury and others are out there, but man, this just adds to the uphill battle. We’ve gotta fight through this, Seattle! Let’s get this win tonight and turn this last month around.
