Chris Flexen Struggles Against Angels

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen wasn't able to pitch deep into the game Friday night, only managing to throw four innings against the Angels before being removed. It was a rough one from the start for Flexen, who needed 32 pitches to escape the top of the first inning. All told, Flexen allowed three […]

Tom Murphy Goes Deep Friday

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy hit his second home run of the year Friday night. Acting as the designated hitter, Murphy homered from the ninth spot in the lineup off of Angels starter Andrew Heaney in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Mitch Haniger Returns To the Lineup

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger is back in the lineup Friday against the Angels. Haniger had missed the previous two contests against the Astros.

Evan White Placed On Bereavement List

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White was placed on the bereavement list Friday. It is unknown how long he will be out.

Kendall Graveman Picks Up Third Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman picked up his third save of the year Thursday, throwing a scoreless ninth inning to protect a one-run victory. Graveman has been simply outstanding all year, as he still carries a 0.00 ERA and a miniscule .38 WHIP over 10 2/3 innings and nine appearances. It is clear from […]

Yusei Kikuchi Carries No-Hitter Into Seventh

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi put together his best outing of the year Thursday against the Astros, throwing seven innings of one-hit ball with seven strikeouts. He also walked two batters, but Kikuchi was the victim of some poor umpiring in both situations. Overall it was a dominant showing for the lefty, with the […]

Luis Torrens Has A Big Day At The Plate

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens provided plenty of offense against the Houston Astros Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored.

Kyle Lewis Hits Second Home Run

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis has been back from the injured list for less than a week, but he's already making his presence felt.

Rafael Montero Gives Up Four Runs

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero entered Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros to protect a two-run lead, and by the time his line was finished, the Mariners were trailing by two. Over 2/3 of an inning, Montero allowed four runs (only two of which were earned) on three hits and a walk. He certainly […]

Justin Dunn Pitches Well In No-Decision

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn came up one out short of a quality start Wednesday, but he pitched well and left in position to get the win. Over 5 2/3 innings, Dunn allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two. Unfortunately, Dunn was left with only a no-decision when […]

Mitch Haniger A Late Scratch Wednesday

No reason has been given as of yet for the change, but fantasy […]

Dylan Moore Absent From Lineup For Second Straight Day

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore is once again out of the lineup on Wednesday.

Moore was also held out on Tuesday night against righty Cristian Javier, and […]

Marco Gonzales Solid In Loss

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales took a tough-luck loss against the Houston Astros Tuesday. Gonzales scattered five hits and three walks over six innings, only allowing two runs.

Justus Sheffield Roughed Up By Astros

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield drew a tough matchup against a reinforced Astros lineup Monday night, and it showed in the results. Across 5 1/3 innings, Sheffield allowed twelve hits and a walk, resulting in five runs, four of which were earned. He also struck out four. While Sheffield's ERA now sits at a […]

Dylan Moore Continues To Struggle

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore has had a dreadful start to the season, slashing .113/.243/.226, and perhaps his lowest moment came on Monday night against the Houston Astros. After starting the day 0-for-2, Moore was pinch-hit for in the top of the ninth with utility man Sam Haggerty. While Astros closer Ryan Pressly is […]

Kyle Seager Hits Fourth Homer

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager was responsible for one of two solo home runs in Seattle's loss to Houston Monday night.

Jarred Kelenic Out With Non-COVID-19 Illness

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (illness) was not in the lineup at the alternate site Sunday.
