6/27/22: Open Game Thread / Suspension details

With suspensions yet to come down from MLB, the Mariners get to run out their for-now best lineup possible. It’s pretty disappointing to see the lefty Frazier all the way down there at the eight-hole, but it’s deserved based on how he’s been hitting lately.

Injury news: in case you didn’t read John’s blurb, Luis Torrens got his shoulder beaten up in yesterday’s brawl and is headed to the 10-day IL. Andrew Knapp will be up in the meantime taking Torrens’s occasional at-bats, but this puts even more pressure on Cal Raleigh to continue to perform at the level he has for the past month.

Here’s a fun fact courtesy of Mariners PR: If Kirby strikes out three batters tonight and issues two walks or fewer, he’ll be the first pitcher in modern MLB history to have recorded 50 strikeouts while walking eight or fewer batters in his first 10 games. Fun fact!

First pitch is at 7:10 PM tonight and you can hear it on 710 Seattle Sports or watch on ROOT Sports NW (or stream on fuboTV). Out of area folks can catch the game on MLB TV.
