After a feel-good win last night, the Mariners play the Athletics for the second game of this series and somehow only the second time this season:
Today’s lineup was a little delayed in coming out, as was the announcement eagerly anticipated by Mariners fans: Kyle Lewis has been re-instated from the IL, with the corresponding move being sending LHP Danny Young back to Tacoma. It seems curious that the Mariners would send down a bullpen arm, instead of DH-only Mike Ford, as the intention is to play KLew solely at DH.
