Evan White Reaches Base Three Times

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White reached base three times against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, singling twice and walking once.

Kyle Lewis Returns Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is in the lineup batting second and playing center field Tuesday against Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ty France Sits Out Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France (forearm) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero collected his third save of the year Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield faced a tough task against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers Monday, and he performed well.

Taylor Trammell Breaks Out

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell has been struggling of late, but on Monday he appeared to break out. Trammell went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and a run scored.
