Yovani Gallardo vs. Adalberto Mejia, 7:10pm
Tonight’s game seems like it’ll double as a celebration of Jean Segura, who just signed his 5-year extension at Safeco Field. Bob Dutton of the News Tribune notes that most of the starting line-up was at the ceremony in the “Griffey Room” at Safeco, including Ben Gamel, Mike Zunino, Robinson Cano, Guillermo Heredia and more. I have no idea how much a good clubhouse culture can make on a team’s W/L record, and don’t know if it’s of much use when trying to lure free agents to sign with a club. But it sure as hell can’t hurt, and it’s refreshing to see the M’s come together over the past year or so.
