The Seattle Mariners will have two of their best pitchers on the mound for two home games against the San Diego Padres.
The Seattle Mariners are set to begin a nine-game homestead starting at 6:40 p.m. PT on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres.
The Mariners and the Padres will play the second of a pair of two-game series this season. The first of the pair was on July 9-10 in San Diego.When the two sides last played, San Diego was missing its franchise star Fernando Tatis Jr. and its ace starting pitcher Yu Darvish.Darvish will make just his second start since May 29 after spending more than three months on the injured list due to a variety of ailments.
Darvish wasn't able to shake the rust in his first outing back since Sept. 4. He allowed three earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched off four hits, including a home run, and gave up two free bases.Kirby regained his form after struggling with inconsistencies in August on his last start on Sept. 4. He struck out nine batters, allowed two earned runs and gave up no free bases.Woo is coming off two straight starts when he either went less than six innings or allowed four earned runs.
Seattle is 4.5 games out of first place in the American League West and 3.5 games out of the third AL Wild Card spot. Starting the homestead off with a sweep against the Padres could be the beginning of what ends up being Seattle's playoff push.The Seattle Mariners No. 1 overall prospect Colt Emerson is meeting all expectations despite a few injury setbacks during the season. He spoke with Mariners on SI on Sunday.
