NEW YORK – Just a quick post for now but a little bit later Sunday look for a piece on Mel Stottlemyre Jr. and the impact that growing up the son of a Yankee had on his life both on and off the field. This has been a special trip for the Mariners pitching coach.
For now, the Mariners go for the sweep in New York.
Notes
• Here’s a few quick notes on the lineup: Nori Aoki has reached base in 10 straight games…Kyle Seager is back in the lineup after his day off…Steve Clevenger gets the start behind the plate after Chris Iannetta caught the day game after the night game…Seth Smith at DH is moving somewhat better since injuring his groin late in spring training but Scott Servais is still not comfortable leaning on him too much in the outfield and will use the DH spot to give him a semi-break.
