In Mariners News...
- Kendall Graveman announced he has a bone tumor in part of his spine, but plans to still continue pitching.
The tumor is benign and can't grow anymore or get any worse with pitching. There is a surgical procedure. But it's something that he won't have until down the road.

- Tom Murphy is reportedly progressing at a slow pace and not likely to return soon.
Doesn't sound like Tom Murphy is getting close to a return. Progressing slowly with the broken bone in his foot. Catching is what bothers it the most but according to Servais, the Mariners have not talked about returning him to DH only.

Brad Miller had the game-winning two-run double in Game 1, and has two homers in Game 2.

Jackie Robinson Ballpark, May 22nd. @daytonatortugas hosted the first event open to fans during the pandemic, with a screening of “42” from the field. One of the greatest experiences of my life. https://t.co/yj8fzLl9sh pic.twitter.com/mTHtqa5SHj
