Northwest Sports Update Bells eye series win over Sox, Whatcom soccer team heads to nationals and more

The Mariners lost 10-1 to the Minnesota Twins, concluding their series in a tie after a rain delay pushed the game back. Minnesota broke the game open with eight runs in the sixth inning, while the Mariners only managed to score in the ninth. The team placed first baseman Rowdy Tellez on release waivers earlier, which could leave them responsible for his remaining $1. 5 million salary. Meanwhile, the Bellingham Bells achieved a commanding 15-2 victory against the Wenatchee AppleSox, with Rob Jacobsen contributing six RBIs.

The Bells reclaimed their lead in the North Division and seek to secure a series win in tonight's Game 3. In other developments, the Kraken acquired forward Frederick Gaudreau from the Minnesota Wild for a fourth-round draft pick. Gaudreau scored 18 goals and 19 assists last season and has three years remaining on his contract. The Kraken prepare for the draft, where they hold the eighth overall pick.
