Welcome back! You may be experiencing some time traveling sickness after last night, so feel free to grab some starches and Pedialyte for the second Sweepsmas in the past four days. It’s also Nelson Cruz’s 38th birthday! It’s ALSO Canada Day! Unfortunately, with the Mariners reverting to more contemporary colors, we’ll sadly see Dee Gordon’s hat perform a 180 instead of further celebration.
Odds are good the Mariners’ performance will not fade, however. James Paxton toes the rubber for the M’s today against the Royals’ ace (by results this year), Brad Keller.
