ARLINGTON -- They had to prove that they could win in this building. To the rest of the division, fans, and maybe more than anyone, the Mariners had to show themselves that they could hang with the defending World Series champions at Globe Life Field after a disastrous showing here

ARLINGTON -- They say that everything is bigger in Texas, and that certainly applied to Julio Rodríguez's first homer of 2024. With one on and one out in the third inning Tuesday night, Rodríguez belted a 1-0 sinker off Dane Dunning a whopping 435 feet, halfway up the second deck

There are a kajillion reasons to love baseball -- especially Minor League Baseball. The bobblehead, which has been greeted with an enthusiastic "Yes" from baseball fans at least since MLB put out a set featuring the likes of Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays in 1960, combines many of

DENVER -- “A long day of baseball.” That’s how Mariners manager Scott Servais described a strange 12 hours at the ballpark on Sunday. It was long, to be sure. But it was also bizarre, even for Coors Field, where bizarre is the norm. By the time they came off the

DENVER -- The temperature at first pitch for the Mariners’ series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday night was 33 degrees, making it the second-coldest game in franchise history.

SEATTLE -- Logan Gilbert seethed at himself when pacing off the mound after his night ended with two outs in the seventh inning. He’d just walked his first batter and ended the Mariners’ franchise-record streak of 35 innings without a free pass, and given that runs were hard to come

We've already seen several noteworthy callups in this young season. The biggest came when the Orioles promoted the best prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, on April 10.
