In Mariners news...

J.P. Crawford was feeling pretty good during yesterday’s game, which bodes well for his chances of playing tomorrow.

When Kelenic was ejected, JP Crawford went up to Servais and said he was going into the game and that he wanted to play. The Mariners were hoping not to play him today because he’s been ill the past two days
