Northwest Sports Update Mariners injury woes continue, Sehome boys soccer clinch state, Trojans basketball star goes D-I and more
The Mariners lost to the Yankees 3-2, giving up an early lead after Julio Rodriguez's two-run double in the third inning. Starting pitcher Luis Castillo performed well, allowing just one run through six innings, but the bullpen allowed solo homers from Paul Goldschmidt and Aaron Judge. This loss marks the Mariners' fifth defeat in their last six games, yet they still hold a slim one-game lead over the Athletics for first place in the AL West. Adding to their woes, the Mariners placed pitcher Bryce Miller on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, after he reported discomfort since late last season. Miller's struggles this season include a 2-4 record and a 5.
22 ERA in eight starts. He joins fellow starters Logan Gilbert and George Kirby on the injured list, with Kirby expected to return next week. The Mariners will take a day off before traveling to face the San Diego Padres for a weekend series. The team’s ongoing injury issues could significantly impact their performance as they navigate this critical stretch of the season.
