The Mariners are looking to avoid the sweep in tonight’s series finale against the Tigers.

The M’s lost 6-2 yesterday in another game where they struggled at the plate.

Seattle managed just five hits for the second straight game against Detroit and AL Cy Young frontrunner Tarik Skubal.

Cal Raleigh nearly brought the M’s back in the eighth inning, but Parker Meadows made a home run-saving catch in center field to hold Seattle off.

Justin Turner made his return to first base after leaving Tuesday’s game with a hand injury.

The M’s have now slipped half a game behind Houston for first place in the AL West after the Astros reeled off back-to-back wins over the Rangers.

Bryan Woo will look to help the M’s end their three game losing streak and take back the division lead tonight.

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

 

It was an intense practice for the Seahawks yesterday.

ESPN’s Brady Henderson reports that at least five fights broke out, including one where DK Metcalf swung a helmet at cornerback Tre Brown.

The fights started when Brown got into it with receiver Jake Bobo at the end of a play and punched him in the face.

The scuffling continued even after head coach Mike Macdonald briefly halted the action to address the team.

Still, Macdonald says it ended on a high note with DK giving a message to the team after practice.
