Northwest Sports Update Ichiro to Cooperstown, Ms split in Anaheim, Bells dominant weekend and more
The Seattle Mariners embark on a 10-day divisional road trip, starting with a series against the Athletics after splitting their last series with the Angels. Julio Rodriguez's four home runs were a highlight, while Cal Raleigh's historic 41st home run made him the first catcher and switch-hitter to reach 40 by July. Ichiro Suzuki, recently inducted into the Hall of Fame, is celebrated as the first Japanese-born player to achieve this honor. The Mariners are currently four games behind the Astros in the AL West, aiming to narrow the gap with Luis Castillo starting tonight. The Seahawks face a setback as running back Kenny McIntosh is placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury believed to be a torn ACL.
McIntosh, a rookie, was vying for the No. 3 running back spot and a role on special teams. Meanwhile, the Sounders drew 2-2 with Atlanta United, while the Storm struggled with a loss against the Mystics. Both teams will look to bounce back in their upcoming matches.
