It’s a home Friday in August and you know what that means: City Connect jerseys and Fireworks Night. It promises to be a full house, too, as parking prices near the stadium already started with the digit ‘7’ as I was walking to the stadium.
The Mariners start a series against the Royals, who played them tough during the series in Kansas City. The Royals’ uber-aggressiveness at the plate proved a tough matchup for the Mariners’ pitching staff, which puts the ball in the strike zone more than any other team, although thankfully the Royals pitching staff was all too ready to give those runs right back.
