Mariners News

The Seattle Mariners are struggling to find their footing, now sitting at 4-9 after a rough 1-5 road trip, and they face the daunting task of taking on the Houston Astros without their most reliable bat, Brendan Donovan, who is sidelined due to illness. The offense, already teetering with a lackluster performance, hit rock bottom against the Astros, and the absence of Donovan adds salt to the wound. Meanwhile, Randy Arozarena has shown flashes of brilliance, hitting his first home run and bringing some excitement to T-Mobile Park, but consistency remains elusive as Julio Rodríguez tinkers with his batting stance, indicating deeper issues within. With a clear run differential of -7 over the last week, the Mariners need to shake off this malaise quickly to avoid sinking further into the AL West basement.

SEATTLE -- Looking for a jolt to their offense after a 1-5 road trip, the Mariners were without their most consistent hitter when they returned to T-Mobile Park on Friday night. Third baseman Brendan Donovan was out of Seattle’s starting lineup to begin a four-game series vs. the Astros, recovering
