6/25: Open Game Thread

It's Jeff Locke and Joe Saunders. I discussed Jeff Locke in the series preview, but this guy's good fortune has been remarkable given his peripherals. The Mariners are fresh off an off-day, and get to enjoy another one after this series. This is the 2nd time they've played Pittsburgh and had days off on either side, but this time it's at home. Schedules are weird.

Try to disguise your shock, but Franklin Gutierrez is still out of the lineup.

1. Starling Marte (R) LF
2. Jordy Mercer (R) SS
