If the 2022 Seattle Mariners ultimately hold on to a wild card berth, they may have the Detroit Tigers to thank in part. The first two games of the series have not gone well at all for the home team. The surging Mariners will look for the sweep on Thursday afternoon, a sweep that would help them carry some momentum into the stretch drive, but they’ll have Eduardo Rodriguez to deal with to get there.
The Tigers will also welcome in some reinforcements on Thursday. Spencer Torkelson has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo as rosters expand on September 1 to 28 players.
