Game 121, Mariners at Rangers – New CBA Offer Just Dropped

Marco Gonzales vs. Mike Foltynewicz, 5:05pm

The unbalanced schedule already forces some odd stretches like this one where the M’s face Texas 9 times in a couple of weeks. But it means individual starters get extremely familiar with some line-ups…and vice versa, of course. Mike Foltynewicz has already started five games against the M’s. *Five*. He’ll make his sixth tonight. He’s actually fared somewhat better against Seattle than everyone else, but it hasn’t mattered – he’s 0-3, and the Rangers are 1-4 in those games.

As we’ve talked about, the problem for him hasn’t really been stuff. He doesn’t throw as hard as he once did, but he’s limiting hits and walks, at least against Seattle’s low…
