After taking back some momentum with a series win against Texas, the Mariners have let that slip through their fingers, again struggling to come up with clutch hits and string together offensive threats, leaving the pitching staff, which has not been perfect, little to no room for error.
Logan Gilbert has the task of trying to right the ship today, and while he’s historically been good at playing the role of stopper , this year’s version of Logan Gilbert hasn’t quite looked like his 2023 self. Lineups: The A’s are sending Aaron Civale to the mound. Roster News: The A’s made a roster move prior to today’s game, moving OF Denzel Clarke (Josh Naylor’s cousin!
) to the 10-day IL and selecting OF Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas. As a reminder, the Mariners have made a couple of moves this week: first, moving Brendan Donovan to the 10-day IL and calling up INF Will Wilson from Tacoma; and second, calling up RHP Alex Hoppe and DFAing Casey Legumina.
