M’s Send Felix to Hill Looking For Split

ByBrady Farkas|

The Mariners won last night. All is right with the world. The M’s got a near no-no from Vidal Nuno and some great hitting from Kyle Seager and Mark Trumbo.

Seager was 4-4 and hit a mammoth homer to the right center field gap off lefty Martin Perez.

Here’s the lineups for today’s 12:40 pm start. And as usual, my thoughts follow below.

1. Derek Holland is on the mound for the Rangers. He’s been awesome since his return from injury and dominated the Mariners just a few weeks ago. This could be a tough one for the M’s.

2. HAPPY FELIX DAY! Felix is back after having his last start skipped. I’m in favor of Felix having been skipped and I hope to see a sharp and energized King this afternoon as the M’s go for a series split.

3. Nelson Cruz is back today! The Boomstick is back from his quadriceps injury and the M’s need him against a tough lefty.

4. Seth Smith is playing today against a lefty. That’s the spot that Franklin Gutierrez should be. I miss Guti.

5. Mark Trumbo and Kyle Seager are on fire. That’s how it was supposed to be when the M’s acquired Trumbo. Both are working on double-digit hit streaks and hopefully that continues this afternoon.

6. It’s a day game. I’m just happy to not have to be up until 1 a.m. watching!

Let’s go M’s! Happy Felix Day!
