Where were you for the Alberto Rodríguez redemption game?
After being cut off the 40-man roster this past off-season after a disappointing 2022, Alberto Rodríguez has come into spring training with a laser focus on showing the Mariners what kind of player he really is. He’s made some excellent plays in the field, come up with a walkoff double, and tonight had one of the Mariners’ biggest hits of the spring on a night when the rest of the offense was sleepy/nonexistent. Let’s all put on our Berto-colored glasses and reflect.
Logan Gilbert made the start for the Mariners and his fastball had a little less zip tonight, starting out around 95 in the first inning before dipping down to 93-94 in the second, but he generally threw it for strikes.
