A week ago, the Mariners were heading into a series in Oakland having lost six in a row, dropping to a season-low five games under .500. A week later, they’ve won six of their last seven and have managed to get back to even on the season. Seattle will look to continue their run of solid play against these same A’s they soundly defeated last week. The return of Ty France has given the lineup a touch more respectability and Marco Gonzales is scheduled to make his return from the Injured List on Tuesday. This team is getting healthier at the right moment in their schedule as they continue their tour of AL West opponents.
