The Mariners have played two uninspired games against the Twins, but tonight they get back Wade “Wader Tot” LeBlanc, who will provide a lift to the dugout if nothing else.
A righty on the mound means we get Starterbach; Tim Beckham takes a seat for Ryon Healy at 3B with EE at first to make way for Vogey. [Note to self: “Make Way For Vogey”: an excellent children’s book idea, who cares about ducks.] Meanwhile in Reno, Kyle Seager and Dylan Moore are back-to-back in the lineup for the Rainiers, with Sam Tuivailala also making the quick trip from Modesto to Reno, so roster moves loom ever-closer.
