Daniel Lynch IV, Royals seek to subdue surging Mariners

It’s been an up-and-down season for Kansas City’s Daniel Lynch IV. The left-hander has been recalled three times from Triple-A Omaha — and optioned back to the minors twice — since May 5. Lynch (0-0, 1.50 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday night when the Royals open a three-game series with the visiting Seattle Mariners, who have won nine of their past 11 games. Lynch most recently pitched May 30 at Minnesota, making an emergency

Mariners’ Bryan Woo out to extend scoreless streak vs. A’s

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo, an Oakland native, will put his spotless record against the host Athletics at risk when he chases a little piece of history in the teams’ Thursday afternoon rubber game. Pitching has dominated the first two games of the series between the American League West rivals, with Seattle’s George Kirby outdueling Mitch Spence in a 4-3 win on Tuesday before Oakland’s Joey Estes bested Logan Gilbert 2-1 in the Wednesday rematch.

A’s Joey Estes will try for second season win vs. Mariners

Right-hander Joey Estes will look to add another mark to the win column against the Seattle Mariners as the Oakland Athletics continue a three-game home series against their American League West counterpart Wednesday night. Estes (1-1, 6.10 ERA) owns the unusual distinction of having both his first career win — and first career loss — come against the same team. Called on to make his major league debut last Sept. 20 against the Mariners, Estes

Athletics aim to show further improvement vs. Mariners

The Oakland Athletics hope improved play of late results in more wins when they open a six-game homestand Tuesday night against the red-hot Seattle Mariners. The A’s were outscored just 26-25 on a 2-4 trip to Tampa Bay and Atlanta last week, losing two one-run decisions to the Rays and a pair of two-runners to the Braves. A pitching staff that had been torched for 17 runs in three games by the Mariners on the

Mariners find spark in Ryan Bliss, seek sweep of Angels

For a team that has struggled offensively, rookie Ryan Bliss provided a much-needed spark Saturday for the Seattle Mariners. Bliss, making his third start at second base since being called up May 27, got his first major league hit, stole two bases and scored three times in the Mariners’ 9-0 win over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. The American League West-leading Mariners will try for a sweep of the three-game series against the last-place Angels

Mariners seeking spike in offense in rematch vs. Angels

First-place teams don’t usually fire members of their coaching staff. But the Seattle Mariners presumably felt they had to do some something to shake up an offense that ranked 29th in the major leagues with an average of just 3.64 runs per game and was on pace to set an MLB record for strikeouts in a season. Offensive coordinator/bench coach Brant Brown was dismissed Friday, and the Mariners responded with three first-inning runs in a

Mariners look to ignite offense in opener vs. Angels

Scott Servais could sense the disappointment. “It happens, gang,” the Seattle Mariners’ manager said after a 4-0 loss to Houston on Thursday afternoon that prevented his club from completing a sweep of their American League West rivals. “We just beat the Houston Astros three out of four. That’s a pretty good series. And we will continue to try to focus on winning the next series. That’s what happens in baseball: You don’t win every game.

Mariners seek four-game sweep vs. Astros

Perhaps Dominic Canzone someday will show his grandchildren the box score of Wednesday’s game, in which he hit a home run off likely first-ballot Hall of Famer Justin Verlander. But it’s what Canzone did that won’t appear in the box score that helped the Seattle Mariners gain a 2-1 victory in 10 innings against Houston, putting the hosts in position to potentially sweep the four-game series with their American League West rivals on Thursday afternoon.

Mariners hope to stay in step against Astros

As a member of the Houston Astros the past three seasons, reliever Ryne Stanek wasn’t exactly a fan of the Seattle Mariners’ postgame celebrations. The Mariners’ outfielders huddle in shallow center field for a dance, while the infielders join together for a different jig. But now that he’s part of the Mariners’ bullpen, the ritual has grown on Stanek, who earned a save in Seattle’s 4-2 victory Tuesday night. The four-game series between the American

Astros, with additional ailment in rotation, face Mariners again

The Houston Astros’ ailing starting rotation has taken another hit. Right-hander Cristian Javier, who was scheduled to start Tuesday night’s game against the host Seattle Mariners, instead was placed on the 15-day injured list with what manager Joe Espada called “right forearm discomfort.” Javier (3-1, 3.89 ERA) was unable to throw a scheduled bullpen session Sunday. Espada said Javier, who previously missed three weeks because of a neck ailment, was expected to undergo an MRI
