Luis Castillo had a decent outing, but the offense struggled, finishing with just five hits and leaving seven baserunners on base. Bryce Miller will be starting the next game for the Mariners, coming off a successful season last year with a 12-8 record and a 2.94 ERA. The team had a big win on Thursday, thanks to key plays by Randy Arozarena and Jorge Polanco.

Mariners Look to Bounce Back and Secure Series Win Against Athletics in Game 3

The Seattle Mariners are set to face the Sacramento-based Athletics in Game 3 of their four-game series on Saturday night. With each team winning a game apiece thus far, the Mariners will be looking to bounce back from a tough 7-0 loss on Friday. Starting pitcher Bryce Miller, who boasted a stellar 12-8 record and 2.94 ERA last season, is expected to lead the Mariners to victory. Known for his impressive 1.96 home ERA, Miller is poised to dominate against the Athletics. Despite the Athletics' struggling offense, the Mariners are likely to capitalize on their home field advantage and strong hitting, particularly with Osvaldo Bido's tendency to give up home runs. Therefore, it is recommended to take the Mariners to cover in this matchup.
