Happy home opener; happy Jackie Robinson Day; and welcome back to MLB in the PNW, TGIF (no chatspeak). The Seattle Mariners salvaged their weather-warped series in Chicago with a win Wednesday, giving them a slightly disappointing but defensible 3-4 record on the road against the two capable teams in the AL Central. Seattle’s reward for biting the bullet once again and enduring an early-spring trip to the Midwest? A home opener against the class of their division, the Houston Astros. The ‘Stros are fresh off a rest day Thursday, following a split two game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks and a general trouncing of the Angels to start the season.
Series Preview: Mariners (3-4) vs. Astros (4-2)
