The Seattle Mariners are going up against the Milwaukee Brewers. So far, the Seattle team has only lost one game during spring training. Sure, these games are mostly for bragging rights, but it’s definitely interesting and exciting to see how these games shape up. Having a 10-game winning streak and a 10-1 record is pretty awesome – spring training games or not. Currently it’s a league record (the previous record was 8 games in 1993)
Today’s starting lineup is:
Brewers
- Aoki, RF (.200)
- Segura, SS (.438)
- Weeks, 2B (.200)
- Davis, DH (.235)
- Schafer, CF (.316)
- Crosby 3B (.000)
- Gindl, LF (.500)
- Morris, 1B (.125)
- Diaz, R, C (.200)
The team’s starting pitcher is Mike Fiers.
Mariners
- Gutierrez, CF (.308)
- Ackley, 2B (.400)
- Morse, RF (.308)
- Morales, K. 1B (.357)
- Bay, LF (.500)
- Ibanez, DH (.538)
- Montero, C (.500)
- Catricala, 3B (.333)
- Ryan, SS (.500)
Blake Beavan will be starting for the Mariners.
