Weird baseball struck again in Game 1, with the Mariners winning their third extra inning game in as many tries - in the eighth inning, no less! Kate will have the recap of the opener later in the day. For now, we’ll soak up all the good feelings of a win to kick off the doubleheader before we dive into the late-afternooncap.
I, for one, am glad to see Evan White sitting in Game 2. He was moving gingerly on the basepaths throughout the first game, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he went on the injured list after this doubleheader gets wrapped up.
