Today the Mariners open up a three-game set with the Rangers that curiously features no day games. It also doesn’t feature Dane Dunning, who was originally going to start this game, but instead had season-ending hip surgery. In his place is the relatively unknown quantity of RHP Jesus Tinoco opening for RHP Tyson Miller. We didn’t write much about Tinoco in the series preview, focusing instead on Miller, but Tinoco can struggle to throw strikes, so it would behoove the Mariners to jump on him early and try to work some counts against him. The Guardians failed to do that in Tinoco’s last opener start, as he threw a hitless 1.
