Mariners Game #126 Preview, SEA at CWS

Tonight the Mariners seek to extend their seven-game winning streak, the longest active streak in the majors, but they’ll have to get past the White Sox and Mike Clevinger to do it. The Mariners do get Julio Rodríguez back after his off-day yesterday. Bryan Woo will make the start, coming off the IL after dealing with some mild forearm inflammation.

Today in Mariners History

• 1992: Bret Boone hits his first MLB home run vs. Boston.
• 2003: Shigetoshi Hasegawa sets a new Mariners record for most consecutive scoreless innings by a reliever with 28.2.
• 2014: Félix Hernández sets a Mariners record in the most Félix way, becoming the first pitcher in Mariners history to record six consecutive seasons with 200+ strikeouts, as the offense handed him a no-decision over 5.2 innings (they did come from behind with a five-run ninth inning to defeat the Red Sox at Fenway, 5-3).
• 2016: With a save to preserve a 7-5 win over the Yankees, Edwin Díaz converts his first 10 save opportunities, passing Byron McLaughlin (9 saves, 1979) for the club record.
