Bellingham, WASports

The Seattle Mariners are poised to take the AL West division lead tonight against the Los Angeles Angels after a thrilling 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in 13 innings. Leo Rivas delivered a walk-off two-run homer, marking the Mariners' fifth consecutive victory. With the Houston Astros losing to the Blue Jays earlier today, Seattle sits just half a game back from first place, with Bryce Miller starting on the mound. In the WNBA, the Seattle Storm clinched the eighth and final playoff spot after a recent win over the Golden State Valkyries.

They will learn their first-round opponent tonight, which could either be the Atlanta Dream or the Las Vegas Aces, depending on the outcome of the Valkyries’ game against the Minnesota Lynx. Meanwhile, the Seahawks enter their Sunday matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with significant injury concerns, particularly regarding Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. Woolen's status remains uncertain after a poor performance last week, while Witherspoon missed practice due to a knee injury. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy also faces potential absence due to injuries sustained against the Seahawks, adding to the growing injury list in the league.
