The on-going audition of Kyle Lewis for the Mariners’ opening day roster continued on Wednesday when he got the start in center field in the season series finale vs. the Astros.
It was Lewis’ first start in center at the major-league level. He played three innings in center in the extra innings victory over the Pirates on Thursday. The rest of his starts have been in right field.
“He’s played all three positions, all year,” manager Scott Servais said of Lewis’ time in the minor leagues. “I said when he first came up, we’d move him all around and it’s an opportunity to see him do that.
