The Mariners are searching for their eighth consecutive victory, plus another series win.
Logan Gilbert gets the ball for the penultimate game of the homestand. Over his last two starts, he has pitched a combined 11.2 innings, giving up no runs on seven hits.
For the second night in a row, the Mets will go with an opener. Huascar Brazobán can be expected to pass the baton to Jonah Tong for the bulk of Tuesday’s contest. Both are righties, which is, um, relevant.
The tide has turned in close games during the Mariners’ winning streak. Three of the last four wins have come in extra innings, bringing them back to a .500 record in such games this year (4-4). In all three of those extra-inning wins, the M’s held their opponent scoreless in the top of the tenth and pushed across the Manfred runner in the bottom half.
Josh Naylor is out of the lineup for an extra day of rest. He left Monday’s game with back spasms, just moments after hitting a game-tying homer. Manager Dan Wilson said Naylor could be available off the bench.
Cal Raleigh continues to make strides in his recovery from a right oblique strain. He was working to all bases and throwing with full effort Tuesday.
