So the penultimate road trip of the regular season didn’t start off so swell, with the Mariners dropping a series to the floundering Mets. But that’s okay! Really! It might not feel like it, but Seattle managed to take sole possession of first place over the weekend with Saturday’s 8-7 win, and held on despite the loss yesterday due to the Astros being swept at home by the Yankees. They’ll have the chance to build on that division lead with a three-game set in Cincinnati, their first visit to Great American Ball Park since 2016.
Lineups:
Fresh series in Cincinnati.
