The Mariners are hosting the Reds tonight following a series loss to the Cubs over the weekend.

Seattle took the first game on Friday thanks to a strong performance by Bryce Miller and a pair of hits from the red-hot Ty France.

They went on to lose the next two games, combining for just three runs, despite solid outings on the mound by Emerson Hancock and Luis Castillo.

The M’s suffered another blow in the first inning of yesterday’s loss when outfielder Dominic Canzone sprained his shoulder in a collision with the left field wall.

He’s now on the 10-day Injured List, while the Mariners called up 21-year-old Jonatan Clase to take his spot.

Clase is listed as the No. 10 prospect in their farm system and is best known for his speed that got him 79 stolen bases in the minors last season.

Seattle currently sits two games behind first place in the AL West division at 6-10.

They’re back tonight against the 9-6 Reds tonight with George Kirby getting the start.

Coverage begins at 5:30 and first pitch is at 6:40 on KPUG.

 

The Kraken continue to struggle as their season winds down.

They fell to the St. Louis Blues 4-1 yesterday for their third straight loss.

Seattle’s offense has fallen flat, with just three combined goals throughout that span.

Jared McCann got the team off to a hot start yesterday with an unassisted goal to open the game.

But the Blues scored the next four goals unanswered to take the win.

The Kraken are down to the final two games of their season.

They’re facing the Winnipeg Jets tomorrow evening on KPUG.

 

The Sounders played FC Dallas to a scoreless draw on Saturday.

Stefan Frei made a pair of saves in the 300th regular season appearance of his career.

It was the Sounders’ third tie of the season, as they sit at 1-3-3.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Reign had a slightly more active weekend.

They lost to Bay FC 3-2 to fall to 1-0-3 on the season.

 

And the Western Washington University softball team continued its historic season.

They swept Montana State Billings in a four game series over the weekend to push their school-record win streak to 17.

The 11th-nationally ranked Vikings tallied 37 runs across the series, led by three home runs by sophomore shortstop Hailey Rath.

It was their third-straight series sweep in GNAC play.

The 34-4 Viks are just three wins away from finishing with the best regular season record in program history with eight games to go.
