Good morning folks! Let’s wash away last night’s disaster with some fresh links.
In Mariners news...
- With the Mariners in need of some pitching help, the team has called up Jimmy Yacabonis and sent down Brady Lail.
- You may notice that Ljay Newsome did not get placed on the injured list after taking a ball off his hand. That’s because his injury may not be as bad as we feared.
Ljay Newsome taking today off to rest bruised hand, but Servais expects him to be OK for his next scheduled start Tuesday in Seattle vs. Giants. Mariners have a doubleheader Monday vs. A's and will use Marco Gonzales in first game, likely bullpen game in second. DHs are 7 innings

- In case you missed it, the Brewers shut out the Tigers by a 19-0 final score, and it wasn’t even the night’s biggest run differential. That’s because the Braves put up more than four touchdowns in a win over the Marlins.
