George Kirby, who boasts a 2-2 record with a 2.93 ERA, will take the mound for the Mariners, while the Athletics will counter with Drew Rucinski, who is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA.

After losing their series against the Blue Jays, the Mariners have bounced back and will be looking to continue their momentum with another win against the Athletics.

With a record of 13-6, the Mariners are averaging 4.21 runs per game.

However, their .215 batting average is the worst in the league, while their .294 on-base percentage is ranked 28th, and their .372 slugging percentage is ranked 23rd.

However, Seattle’s offense could not produce any runs, resulting in a 1-0 loss to the Phillies. The Mariners will need a similar performance from Kirby and some offense to secure the victory.
