Mandatory Credit: Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images | Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images The Mariners are back under the lights tonight after a game where for some reason, who can say really, the ninth inning absolutely did not happen . Seriously.
Eat some chicharron, drink a Russian imperial stout, and smile through it all. That’s how we get through 162 games together. Lineups: Luis Castillo takes the mound tonight for the final match of this weird 3-game road trip.
Luis actually leads MLB in swings-and-misses (3,426) since 2017, the year he made his debut. Here’s hoping he adds to that lead tonight. Offense-wise, it’s a fairly conventional lineup for Dan Wilson’s Mariners.
J. P. Crawford is back in the lineup after getting the day off yesterday, and there’s been some slight jiggling in the 7-9 holes, but otherwise it’s the same lineup that put 6 runs on the Dads last night.
Walker Buehler takes the mound tonight for San Diego. Buehler had a to-ugh time in Boston last year, and his 2026 hasn’t been any better. Sporting an ERA of 4.
