The Mariners have the day off today before embarking on an extended road trip.

The M’s have gotten off to a strong start under new skipper Dan Wilson.

They’ve won four of their last six games after going 1-8 over Scott Servais’s final stretch in Seattle.

The Mariners currently sit 3.5 games behind the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West division.

They’ll kick off their ten game roadtrip in Los Angeles tomorrow for the start of their weekend series against the Angels.

George Kirby will be on the mound as he looks to help break the Mariners’ six-game losing streak to their division foe.

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

 

The Seahawks may be without a key defensive back for the start of their season.

General Manager John Schneider says the team doesn’t know if safety Rayshawn Jenkins will be ready for Week One against the Broncos.

Jenkins went down in practice on Aug. 21 and has been sidelined ever since.

Fifth-year backup K’Von Wallace would start in his place.

 

The Seattle Storm edged the Atlanta Dream 85-81 last night.

Jewell Loyd scored 28 points, including a go-ahead three pointer with 23 seconds left, to lead the Storm.

The win came despite Dream veteran Tina Charles becoming the 18th player in WNBA history to record a triple-double.

The Storm still sit 3.5 games behind Minnesota for first place in the Western Conference.

They’re back tomorrow night to host the league-leading New York Liberty.

 

WWU’s men’s soccer team has been picked to finish near the top of their conference.

The Vikings tied for third place in the recent GNAC preseason coaches poll.

It certainly adds up, as the Viks are coming off a 6-6-6 season where they tied for a third place finish in the conference.

First-team all-GNAC forward Albin Jonsson is back after leading the team with five goals and a pair of assists for 12 points.

The Viks open their season next Thursday by hosting No. 18 nationally-ranked Chico State.
