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 […]

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.

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.

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.

Luis Torrens Leaves Six On Base

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens had a rough night at the plate Friday, repeatedly coming up with men on base but never managing to deliver.

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 Hits A Blast

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger returned to the lineup Friday night after missing the past two games, and made his presence known immediately. Haniger blitzed Angels starter Andrew Heaney with a leadoff home run to get the scoring going for Seattle in their eventual victory. It was his sixth of the year. For the game, […]

Dylan Moore Picks Up A Homer And A Steal

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore finally got something going on Friday night, hitting a home run and stealing a base against the Angels.

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. Manager Scott Servais said that it was his decision to keep Haniger on the bench - that Haniger could have played in each of those games, and was simply worn down. […]

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. Recently acquired catcher Jacob Nottingham was called up to the majors to take his roster spot. Look for lefty-swinging Jose Marmolejos to pick up additional at-bats for however long White remains away from […]

Taylor Trammell Hits Fourth Home Run

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell accounted for the only run in Thursday's game with a solo blast in the top of the third inning off Astros starter Luis Garcia. Trammell has been dreadful of late, with only two hits in his last 21 at-bats. Perhaps the home run will lead to a breakout, but his […]

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 […]

Kyle Lewis Sits Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is not in the lineup Thursday as the Mariners take on the Houston Astros. Lewis has played in seven games since returning from injury, and the Mariners intend to keep him out of day games following night games for the short-term future in order to protect his knee.

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. Torrens seemed to have Zack Greinke's number as both hits came off the accomplished starter. Torrens is off to a difficult start to the year, with a […]

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.
