Game Preview

The Mariners hope to capitalize on the New York Yankees’ potential post-celebration lull as they aim to prevent a series sweep at home.

After securing an American League playoff spot with a 2-1 win in 10 innings last night, thanks to Anthony Rizzo’s key RBIs, the Yankees (89-63) have solidified their return to the postseason, reversing their fortunes from the previous year’s miss.

Aaron Boone, the Yankees’ manager, highlighted improved health and revitalization from players rebounding from tough seasons as crucial to their success this year, describing the current roster as primed for something significant. Aaron Judge echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement about returning to postseason play with hopes of capturing a World Series title.

The Yankees, now assured at least a wild-card entry, still aim to clinch the AL East, holding a five-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles with just ten games left.

Meanwhile, the Mariners (77-75), trailing Houston by five games in the AL West and three games behind in the wild-card race, faced a peculiar defeat Wednesday night. In the bottom of the 10th, a bizarre incident with a flying bat prevented Julio Rodriguez from scoring the tying run, epitomizing the game’s tight competition.

Seattle’s manager Dan Wilson lamented the loss as a tough break in an otherwise tightly contested game, highlighting the strange nature of the play that concluded their chance at a comeback.

Clarke Schmidt (5-3, 2.41 ERA) is slated to pitch for the Yankees against Mariners’ Logan Gilbert (7-11, 3.24) in Thursday’s series finale. Schmidt, recently back from a lat strain, has been effective in his return, maintaining a low ERA in starts against the Cubs and Red Sox. Gilbert, facing struggles in recent decisions, aims to rebound from previous outings where the Yankees have posed a challenge.
