3 articles · Updated · Lookout Landing · Jun 28

Summary

  • Seattle enters Game 85 against Cleveland trying to clinch the season series while avoiding a franchise record for consecutive games with three or fewer runs.
  • Randy Arozarena's three-run homer was not enough in Saturday's loss, extending the Mariners' scoring slump into Sunday's matchup.
  • Dominic Canzone is out with a hamstring issue and Luke Raley also gets the day off, with Victor Robles starting in right field and Mitch Garver catching as Cal Raleigh serves as DH.
  • Cleveland counters with Gavin Williams, who has cooled after a strong start, and also activated Chase DeLauter from the injured list despite his recent rib fracture.
