Gordon didn’t start on Sunday – his 30th birthday – to rest a nagging foot issue. He did make an appearance in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter, however.
On the mound, Mike Leake will look to throw his third quality start of the season for the Mariners.
Also of note, the Mariners are playing at Guaranteed Rate Field, where former Mariners and current White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage during Friday’s White Sox-Astros game. Both teams have Farquhar jerseys hanging up in their dugouts.

He underwent successful surgery Saturday to address his aneurysm, and has use of his extremities, is responding appropriately to questions and commands, and is speaking to doctors and his family.
