Dylan Moore Hits A Two-Run Shot Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore went deep Friday for his third home run of the year. The two-run shot got the scoring started for Seattle in the top of the second inning. For the contest, Moore went 1-for-3 with a walk. Despite struggling to a disappointing .544 OPS, Moore has now contributed three home […]

J.P. Crawford Shines Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford had a spectacular night at the plate Friday, going 3-for-3 with a home run. He scored twice, drove in two more, and was also hit by a pitch. The two-run home run came in the top of the fourth inning off of Mike Foltynewicz, and tied the game at four. […]

Ty France Snaps Hitless Streak

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France had been on an awful skid entering Friday, going hitless in 21 at-bats since April 29. Against the Rangers, France went 1-for-4 with a double, breaking the streak in the top of the fourth inning. For the season, France is now slashing .246/.351/.395. He was dropped from second to […]

Kyle Lewis Has A Three-Hit Day

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis moved up to the second spot in the lineup Friday, and it appears the change agreed with him. Lewis went 3-for-5 with a double, good for only his second multi-hit game of the year. He has now lifted his OPS to .689 on the year, so it seems he's slowly […]

Chris Flexen Allows Four Runs

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen allowed four runs to the Texas Rangers Saturday. All four runs came in the first three innings, before Flexen managed to settle down. All told, he allowed four runs on ten hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings, while striking out two. The big blow came on a […]

Kendall Graveman Locks Down Fourth Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman locked down his fourth save of the year Friday, securing the win against the Texas Rangers. Graveman recorded all three outs via strikeout, and only allowed a one-out double to David Dahl. Graveman has been dominant all year, and still has yet to allow a run. He's clearly the […]

Jake Fraley Getting Closer To A Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (hamstring) has been out of the lineup since April 7, when he was placed on the injured list with a strained left hamstring. He is now hitting in the cages, and has begun running and playing catch. At the time of his injury, Fraley had a robust .526 OBP, largely […]

Evan White Dropped To Eighth Friday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White is in the lineup Friday, batting in the eighth spot. White has struggled mightily to start the year, slashing .141/.202/.205. White is known for his defense, but that slash line simply isn't going to cut it. If he continues to struggle, it's conceivable the Mariners could give White some […]

Jarred Kelenic Homers Twice In First Triple-A Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic made a strong impression in his first game at the Triple-A level. The uber-prospect went 2-for-6 with two solo home runs and three runs scored.

Yusei Kikuchi Sharp On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi threw seven strong innings Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk. He also struck out seven Orioles. Unfortunately, Kikuchi was saddled with the loss as the Mariners weren't able to muster even a single hit against masterful Baltimore starter John Means. Kikuchi now has back-to-back quality […]

Keynan Middleton Leaves With Biceps Strain

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Keynan Middleton (biceps) came on to pitch the ninth inning of Tuesday's game with the Mariners holding a four-run lead. Unfortunately, he only managed to face one batter, whom he walked, before being forced out of the game with a biceps strain. He was charged with a run when reliever Robert […]

Justin Dunn Is Solid On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn pitched well against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, going 5 1/3 innings and only allowing one run. Once again, the walks were the problem for Dunn, as he gave up more walks (4) than hits (3). It was these walks that got him into jams and quickly elevated his […]

Kendall Graveman Enters In The Sixth

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman entered Tuesday's game with one one in the sixth inning, to relieve starter Justin Dunn. Once again, Graveman was outstanding, getting five outs and only allowing a single walk. He also struck out one batter. If it wasn't abundantly clear before now, Graveman is being used in the highest […]

Ty France Goes Hitless Again

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France was without a hit once again Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk in the contest. He now has only one hit, a single on April 29, in his last 28 at-bats. After a torrid spring training, France was expected to have a break-out campaign, but his slash line sits […]

Kyle Seager Goes Deep Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager got the scoring going Tuesday, launching a solo shot in the bottom of the third inning off of Baltimore starting pitcher Jorge Lopez. It was Seager's fifth home run of the year. He drove in another run in the bottom of the eighth with a sacrifice fly. For the […]

Kyle Lewis Hits Big Three-Run Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis came through in the clutch Tuesday, delivering a big three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to extend the Seattle lead to 5-1. It was Lewis's third home run of the year, and he has now collected exactly one hit in six straight games despite a disappointing […]

Tom Murphy Goes Deep Monday

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy hit his third home run of the season Monday. The solo shot came off of Orioles starter Dean Kremer in the bottom of the fifth inning. It was Murphy's only hit of the day, though he did also draw a walk. Murphy is now slashing .148/.207/.559 for the season. There's […]

Mitch Haniger Hits A Two Run Shot Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went deep yet again on Monday. His two-run shot came in the bottom of the eighth inning off Orioles reliever Tanner Scott, and pulled the Mariners within two, though they would fail to complete the comeback. It was Haniger's eighth big fly of the year, and he now sits just […]

Erik Swanson Will Start Bullpen Game Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erik Swanson will get the start Monday evening against the Baltimore Orioles. With the starting depth for the big club thinned significantly with injuries to James Paxton, Marco Gonzales, and Nick Margevicius, the team has been forced to look to Swanson. He isn't properly stretched out to start, so it'll be […]

J.P. Crawford Starting To Heat Up

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 1-for-3 Sunday afternoon, extending his modest five-game hit streak. For the last seven days, Crawford is slashing .348/.400/.478, and he had put together back-to-back two-hit games entering Sunday. Crawford's line for the year isn't all too impressive, as he has no home runs, one steal, and carries a .649 […]

Dylan Moore Steals Sixth Base

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore stole yet another base Sunday afternoon, giving him six for the season. He's also been caught once. Moore has had a rough start to 2021, but the speed game has kept his fantasy value somewhat afloat. He also went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Sunday's contest against the […]

Rafael Montero Gets Fourth Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero got the save against the Angels Sunday afternoon, pitching a clean ninth inning with one strikeout. It was his fourth save of the year, giving him an equal four completed saves, and four blown saves. Montero is by no means locked into the closer role, as he has been […]

Kendall Graveman Pitches The Eighth

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman pitched the eighth inning of Seattle's 2-0 win over the Angels Sunday afternoon. He entered to face Mike Trout, Anthony Rendon, and Jared Walsh, the heart of the Angels order, and escaped with a ground out, a single, and a double-play ball. Graveman is clearly the best pitcher in […]

Justus Sheffield Delivers A Quality Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield was excellent Sunday afternoon against the Angels, going six innings without allowing a score. Sheffield worked himself into several jams, but was able to consistently find his way out of them. All told, he gave up just two hits and three walks and struck out four. It was his […]

Marco Gonzales Plays Catch Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) played catch Sunday, an encouraging sign as he works his way back from the injured list. Manager Scott Servais has stated that the team only expects Gonzales to miss "a few" starts. Whenever a forearm is listed as the cause for an absence, that fairly leads to concern, […]

Taylor Trammell Strikes Out Four Times

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell had yet another disaster of a game at the plate Saturday. The rookie went 0-for-4 at the dish, striking out each time. Trammell has now struck out in exactly 50 percent of his at-bats. With a rate like that, there's almost no level of contribution in other areas that can […]

Mitch Haniger Homers In Losing Effort

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went deep again Sunday night. It was his team-leading seventh home run of the season. Unfortunately for the Mariners, the two-run blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning and still left the team down two runs to the Angels. Haniger has now homered in two straight games, raising […]

LJay Newsome Has Disastrous First Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome made his first start of the year Saturday night, and it could not have gone worse. Facing the Angels, Newsome allowed eight runs on seven hits and two walks in only two innings of work. He allowed three home runs and struck out one. Newsome had no trouble throwing […]
