It was a good weekend at T-Mobile Park, as the Mariners’ series win against the Pirates guarantees them a winning record for both this homestand and the month of May. Excitement and relief went hand in hand as several players who’d been struggling showed signs of a return to form; Luis Castillo looked like his dominant self again Saturday and Julio Rodríguez surged to the tune of six hits and two home runs in the series. The M’s have an opportunity this week to prove that their recent success is sustainable against a better opponent and in slightly more hostile conditions: the New York Yankees come to town, which means power hitters and a plethora of Yankees fans in our house.
