Heading into Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers, the Seattle Mariners' pitching staff leads baseball in this great category, which is part of the reason why the M's lead the American League West by 7.5 games.
will head into Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers looking for a sweep of their divisional foes. The M's are 42-31 and 7.5 games up on Texas as we approach the nominal halfway point of the season.
The reason for the M's success? The strength of the organization's starting pitching. Luis Castillo, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller and then the combination of Bryan Woo, Emerson Hancock and Jonathan Diaz have given the M's a chance to win on most nights. That group has been so stout that it leads baseball in this great category heading into Sunday.George Kirby goes 6 innings, only gives up an unearned run on 3 hits with 6 strikeouts.
The hope is that Santos is able to throw in games for the M's in July, though that remains to be seen. The M's will finish out the series with the Rangers on Sunday as Gilbert takes the ball against fellow righty Dane Dunning.Continue to follow our Inside the Mariners coverage on social media by liking us on
