For the sixth time this season, the Mariners will look to break above .500 after a wild walk-off win on Friday in front of a crowd of over 44,000. Bryan Woo will look to keep rolling from his last pair of starts, while the Diamondbacks will be running out right-hander Ryne Nelson.
Mitch Garver is behind the plate for Seattle tonight despite the righty, continuing the fairy even job share with Jhonny Pereda while Cal Raleigh continues to work back from his oblique injury. Cole Young is once again in the six-hole above Dominic Canzone, and it’s very plausible that this is for splitting up the platoon bats. Despite Nolan Arenado suffering a gnarly-looking hit by pitch in the ninth inning in last night’s contest, he’s back at the hot corner for the Snakes. (UPDATE: Arenado has been scratched. José Fernández will play third and bat eighth in his stead, while Gabriel Moreno will hit cleanup with Adrian Del Castillo behind him hitting fifth. The rest of Arizona’s lineup remains unchanged.)
