After returning from a somewhat disappointing road trip, Seattle will kick off a homestand with an exciting series against a competitive Twins squad. In their first head-to-head series of the season, the Twins came away with a 3-1 series win and outscored the Mariners 26-15. Seattle will look to get their offense going and recover after a few bad starts from the rotation.
Starting pitchers for tonight's game
- Logan Gilbert (5-4, 2.71 ERA) will be taking the bump today for his 17th start of the season. He has been red-hot all season but turned the dial up to 11 in June, posting a 1.21 ERA over his 29.2 innings pitched. He has pitched a total of 20 innings against the Twins in his career and has posted a 4.95 ERA against them.
- Bailey Ober (7-4, 4.50 ERA) will take the ball for the Twins in his 16th start of the season. Ober had a rough start to the season but is starting to find his stride, posting a 3.60 ERA over 25 innings in June. A key to victory for the Seattle lineup will be taking advantage of Ober's four-seam fastball. Opposing batters are averaging .330 and slugging .634 against the pitch and it's his most frequently used.
