Mariners Game #6 Preview and Discussion: NYY at SEA, 3/31/26

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 26: Cal Raleigh #29 and Logan Gilbert #36 of the Seattle Mariners gather at the mound during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at T-Mobile Park on March 26, 2026 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Mariners recorded their first walkoff win of the season last night and in narrative-pleasing fashion, it was Cal Raleigh who dealt reigning MVP Aaron Judge’s Yankees the loss. Ah, that’s the good stuff.
The Mariners really needed that win because they have two rough draws for the rest of this series, starting with Max Fried tonight. It’s a second straight day against a lefty, so once again I must implore you to read this piece on lefty lineup construction from Zach Mason if you have not. Or even if you have.
Pre-game Reading: Obviously, the big news today is about Colt Emerson’s record-breaking extension , but we have other Mariners minors news, too: our prospect countdown features Laz Montes, and we also have a preview of the 2026 Everett AquaSox to go along with yesterday’s preview of the Arkansas Travelers . Also if you haven’t yet, make sure to check out the piece I did this spring about Colt’s improvements in the box. In case you missed last night’s recap, you’ll definitely want to read about how Luis Castillo and Aaron Judge are long-distance admirers (this is how I’m choosing to interpret what Luis said).
Tonight’s game is helpfully on TBS in case you’re still struggling to figure out Mariners TV; KING 5 also announced a plan to air 10 Mariners games on local broadcast TV this season. Lineups: Injury Updates: SS J. P.
