Northwest Sports Update Mariners impress in return home, Seahawks hit key offseason stretch and more

Bellingham, WASports

The Mariners dominated the Nationals 9-1 in Game 1, with Logan Evans delivering a stellar eight-inning performance and Cal Raleigh hitting two home runs to lead the American League with 19. George Kirby will start Game 2 tonight, looking to improve from his previous outing. The Mariners could soon welcome back Bryce Miller from the injured list, as he is expected to rejoin the rotation during the current nine-game homestand. Additionally, Logan Gilbert is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma after his own injury. In contrast, the Houston Astros face a tough situation as Ronel Blanco will undergo Tommy John surgery, compounding their pitching woes.

Hayden Wesneski also had season-ending surgery last week, leaving the Astros with a depleted rotation. Despite these challenges, the Astros remain competitive, trailing the Mariners by just one game in the AL West. Fans are keen to see if the Mariners can capitalize on their rivals' struggles and continue their winning streak.
