The Mariners are looking to rebound against the Yankees tonight after a blowout loss in the series-opener.

Juan Soto hit his 40th home run of the season and Aaron Judge drove in four runs in the Yankees’ 11-2 win over the M’s last night.

Bryan Woo got pounded on the mound, giving up seven earned runs through four and two-thirds innings.

Jorge Polanco and Luke Raley each hit solo homers for Seattle, but the team went 0-8 with runners in scoring position in the loss.

The loss pushed Seattle back in the playoff race after wins by Houston, Minnesota and Detroit.

Bryce Miller is on the mound for the Mariners tonight as they look to even up their series against the American League-leading Yankees.

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

 

We might have to wait a bit longer to see Russell Wilson make his black and gold debut.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says the team is preparing to start Justin Fields for a third straight week as Russ continues to work through a lingering calf injury.

Fields has helped Pittsburgh to a 2-0 start with both wins coming on the road in Russ’ absence.

The former Seahawk star was projected to be the Steelers’ QB1 for most of the preseason.

He’s been limited in practice this week ahead of the Steelers’ game against the Chargers on Sunday.

 

The Seattle Storm fell to the Las Vegas Aces 85-72 last night.

Aces star and reigning MVP A’ja Wilson scored 21 points and grabbed 7 boards to set the WNBA record for most rebounds in a season.

She set the single-season points record earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Nneka Ogwumike led Seattle with 19 points while the team’s leading scorer Jewel Loyd sat out with a knee injury.

The loss locks the Storm into the fifth playoff spot, where they’re likely to rematch the two-time defending champion Aces in the first round.

Seattle concludes their regular season schedule in Phoenix tomorrow night against the Mercury.

 

A new professional basketball team is coming to the Pacific Northwest, but it’s not the one Seattle fans were hoping for.

The WNBA announced today that it will add a team in Portland as its 15th franchise.

Portland previously entered the league as the expansion Fire in 2000 before folding after the 2002 season.

The new majority owners also own the NWSL’s Portland Thorns.

This is the first time the WNBA will return to a city it previously left, although the league has expressed an openness to do so again in the future.

Portland’s new team will begin play in the 2026 season.

 

Western Washington University’s women’s soccer team suffered a tight 1-0 loss to Azusa Pacific last night.

Azusa scored just 13 seconds into the second half to break up the scoreless match and take the win at home.

It snapped the Vikings’ three-game unbeaten streak to start their season, as they now fall to 1-1-2.

They’ve struggled to find the net thus far, with just three goals scored across their first four games.

The men’s soccer team will look to improve on its 2-1-1 start in Salt Lake City tomorrow night as they play Westminster.

The Lady Viks are back at Harrington Field on Sunday to host Colorado School of Mines.
