Yu Darvish Goes Four Innings

Taijuan Walker Shaky In Season Debut

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Taijuan Walker gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk through 3 1/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Kyle Lewis Homers Again Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 1-for-3 and homered for the second game in a row to start the 2020 season. Though Lewis never hit for much power in the minors, he has flashed a lot of power so far between his time in the majors and summer camp. If Lewis continues to play at […]

Minnesota Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak threw four innings of one-run ball against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, giving up one run and striking out three batters.

Zack Greinke To Start Sunday

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke will take the ball Sunday for the first time in 2020 against the Mariners.

Roberto Osuna Pitches Scoreless Inning

Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna allowed one hit but pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday against the Mariners.
