After a flurry of roster moves on Monday’s almost league-wide sabbatical, Mariners baseball returns this afternoon. Be honest with yourself: did you really miss it?
This series is sure to reopen a few not-quite-healed emotional wounds for Mariners fans, considering the absolute smack-down the team got the last time it faced Detroit. As Jake notes in his series preview, however, this time around the Mariners will only have to face one of the pitchers that dominated the team’s weak lineup.
Today, it will be King County’s own LHP Matthew Boyd on the mound for the Tigers, up against still-recovering Marco Gonzales.
