After a disappointing finish to their series in Minnesota, the Mariners head to Chicago for a three-game set before returning home (with, it bears pointing out, no off-day in between). Unfortunately their task won’t get any easier in Chicago, as the beefy crew of White Sox sluggers seem well-primed to take advantage of a Seattle rotation that’s struggled to start the year. However, the Mariners will be sending their top two pitchers out during this series, and the series starts today with Matt Brash’s debut. Happy Matt Brash Day, indeed.

Yes, it appears to be an off-day for Julio; the Mariners are cleverly keeping this game watchable (seriously, Julio was about the only watchable part of those last two games against Minnesota) by timing Matt Brash Day with the less-fun Julio Off Day.
