Logan Evans was the pitcher on the mound in the Ichiro number retirement game last year; this year it will be Emerson Hancock’s turn for the Randy Johnson number retirement game. For the Royals, their reigning organizational Pitcher of the Month, Seth Lugo, will take the mound. Unlike last night’s surprising slugfest, runs could be very thin on the ground today – a fitting tribute to the Big Unit.

Lineups:

5:22 PT: LINEUP CHANGE FOR THE MARINERS: Cal Raleigh is a late scratch. No reason has been given. Mitch Garver will instead do the catching, batting eighth. Cole Young moves up to bat fifth and Canzone moves up to sixth followed by Raley, Garver, and Rivas. If you comment in the game thread and say anything to the effect of “hey, since when does Cole Young bat fifth?” I am legally allowed to kick you in the shins.

“Another late-night game”? I fear I have been lied to about Midwestern Resiliency.

News:

Farewell, Josh Simpson, we hardly knew ye. No, really – apparently the Mariners only called up lefty Josh Simpson as a paper move to cover Matt Brash’s roster spot after moving him to the 15-day IL while they could get righty Nick Davila here from Arkansas. You can read more about Brash and Simpson here, and more about Nick Davila here, and more injury update news in general here.
