Mariners Game #80 Preview, 6/23/24: SEA @ MIA

Rubber match in Miami!

Thank you to all who came out yesterday at Growler Guys to watch the M’s bounce back from a tough walk-off loss and stomp the Marlins 9-0. Today, they’ll go for the series victory with Bryce Miller on the hill.

Lineups:

We see the return of Julio Rodríguez in center field today, while Mitch Garver has fully stepped into the backup catcher role by suiting up behind the plate for the day game. Dominic Canzone was rewarded for his four-hit effort yesterday by hitting cleanup, and Ryan Bliss will look to keep his scorching series going.

After being pulled midgame yesterday and jokingly drawing trade speculation, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is back in the leadoff spot for the Marlins. Righty Kyle Tyler, who was just called up from Triple-A Jacksonville this morning, will be making his first career start - though he does have 18.1 big league innings under his belt, the majority of those coming with Anaheim in 2021.

Game Info:

Today’s first pitch is at 10:40am PDT, and will be available on ROOT Sports NW and 710 AM Seattle Sports as normal.

This Day in Mariners History:

2022: The Mariners complete a sweep of the Oakland Athletics, with both of their runs coming in the ninth inning on a pair of wild pitches in the same at-bat.

2008: This one needs no introduction.
