After a lengthy road trip, the Seattle Mariners return home tonight to open a 3-game set with the Minnesota Twins at T-Mobile Park. Seattle’s 9 game road trip did not go their way, after winning just 3 of the 9, but at home they are a different team with an impressive 27-12 record. The Mariners are expected to send Logan Gilbert to the hill. He is 5-4 with a 2.71 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, and over his last 3 turns it gets better. He is 2-0 with an ERA of just 1.19 and a 0.57 WHIP. The Twins have won 2 in a row, 4 of their last 5, and bring their 22-20 road record to Seattle. They are expected to give the nod to Bailey Ober. He is 7-4 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Seattle was off yesterday and Minnesota was not. The Twins could also be without their star, SS Carlos Correa, who was hit in the wrist by a pitch last night and left the game in the seventh inning.
