Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners arrived in Texas at .500 on the season, vying for the top spot in the AL West due to slow starts from other teams. They won game one with strong performances from Logan Gilbert and Julio Rodriguez, but struggled in game two, losing 5-1 to the Rangers. They will send Luis Castillo to the mound for game three. Despite a slow start, Castillo is coming off his first win of the season. However, the team is facing key injuries to several players, including Bryan Woo, Dominic Canzone, Matt Brash, and Gregory Santos. Despite their challenges, the Mariners are ranked 23rd in offense, 4th in defense, and currently hold a 12-12 record for the season.
