Boy, oh boy, was that a fun weekend of Mariners baseball! Ichiro’s induction, taking three out of four from - and very nearly swept - a likely playoff foe in the Cleveland Guardians, and of course, softbaLL all combined for what was one of the best series of the season. Deadgar Weekend what?
Alas, the good vibes are on hold for today, as the M’s have the day off to travel for their penultimate Midwest jaunt of the season, where they’ll face the basement-dwelling Tigers for the first time this year and the Guardians once more. Today is also an off day for several playoff contenders, chief among them the Orioles: no matter what happens today, Seattle will stay 2.
