Seattle Mariners

The Mariners take a winning record into their second series of the season, pitted against a young, exciting team reeling from a rough start.

With three Mariners games in the books, Brandon Gustafson details the good, the bad and everything else from the series win over the Giants.

The Mariners beat the Giants 4-0 to win their first series of the 2021 season. Chris Flexen threw five shutout innings and had six strikeouts.

Paul Gallant saw the 2015 Astros become a playoff contender up close. He sees a lot of similarities between that team and the 2021 Mariners.

Yusei Kikuchi tied a career-high with 10 strikeouts, but the Giants scored three in the seventh to beat the Mariners 6-3 on Friday night.

The Mariners may be a young team, but they showed a veteran approach at the plate in their improbable comeback win over the Giants on opening night.

Jake Fraley walked with the bases loaded in the 10th to drive in the winning run, and the Mariners rallied from five runs down to beat the Giants 8-7.

The Mariners are back in action for opening day, and all eyes are on the outfield with Mitch Haniger's return and Taylor Trammell's debut.

Mitch Haniger will lead off in his first MLB game since 2019 as the Mariners open the 2021 season against the Giants.

Recent teams that went through a rebuild made big jumps a year ahead of projections, which Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto said could be possible for Seattle in 2021.
