The Mariners are in first place.

Dan Wilson said the team today is a bit “lighter in the step” following their sweep in Sacramento over the midweek slate.

The Diamondbacks enter with a strong 31-24 record. For more on them, Jake Mailhot has you covered. Justin Hollander provided some injury updates before the game. Brendan Donovan is running in zero-G,
