The Mariners, sans Julio, Ty, and Kirby, couldn’t take care of business last night against the Athletics, and will have to win today in order to avoid a) an unthinkably bad series loss against the A’s and b) losing ground in the AL West race, where the two Texas teams have suddenly started punching back with furor against their Northeastern foes. Unfortunately, the team will have to find a way to win without their white-hot superstar, as Julio Rodríguez remains sidelined with a nerve issue in his foot.

News:
Servais says Julio is “still sore” today but is feeling a little bit better; they hope to rest him for today and the off-day tomorrow to calm down the soreness in his foot.
