The Mariners take on the Cardinals for the second game of this three-game set. Note that every game this series is a night game, so start time is 6:40 today and tomorrow, as well. You can also get that Logan Gilbert Funko Pop at both games, although I’m still mad it didn’t come with a removable goatee. Tonight’s starter is George Kirby, looking to right the ship after a dreadful outing against the Rays.
Lineups:
It’s a righty-heavy lineup against the lefty Matthew Liberatore.
News:
At this point you just have to respect the troll job.
But shoutout to staffer Jake for this meme:
