Chris Flexen vs. Chris Paddack, 7:10pm
Sooo, the M’s got swept by the Tigers, made a bunch of roster moves, then had a player test positive for Covid, necessitating a ton more moves. This has not been a good week for your Seattle Mariners. The offense was shut down by a Tigers staff that came in with serious problems, and while the M’s faced the heart of their rotation, it’s not like they did anything against the bullpen, either.
Faced with a catching tandem that has combined to “hit” .156/.202/.305 *and* which has struggled defensively, the M’s decided to option Luis Torrens down to AAA Tacoma, and pulled back Jacob Nottingham from Milwaukee.
