The Mariners open a big 11-game homestand–their longest of the season–tonight at 7:10 pm against the Cleveland Indians. The four-game weekend series against the Tribe is followed by three against the New York Yankees (June 1-3) and another four-gamer against the Tampa Bay Rays (June 4-7).
Dave Sims returns to the ROOT Sports booth tonight with Mike Blowers while Aaron Goldsmith goes back to the 710 ESPN Radio booth. They switched roles during the just-completed trip.
Rick Rizzs will take a rare game off this Saturday. His substitute on radio will be Gary Hill, the weekend host of Mariners radio pre and post-game shows.
