The Mariners salvaged what would have been a losing road trip by sweeping the Oakland Pathetics in what staffer John Trupin declared the “least convincing sweep ever,” but hey, job done and now the Mariners sit just one game under .500 as they welcome their old nemeses the Astros to town for the first time since the Astros ended the Mariners’ playoff hopes last October. They’ll also be debuting their new on-field City Connect jerseys on Friday night, giving away Electric Factory-branded sunglasses on Saturday, and celebrating moms with the “Geno Grigio” wine tumbler on Sunday.
Series Preview: Mariners (15-16) vs. Astros (16-15)
