The Mariners escaped Wrigley with a series win thanks to the bats heating up along with the temperature in a series critics are calling “like Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure: absurd, but fun.” They now head to Minnesota, which can also be a Midwest weather house of horrors in its own right. Not only is it similarly steamy up north, but rain is in the forecast, with Wednesday almost certainly being a rainy day worthy of tarp-watch, and scattered thunderstorms on Thursday, making rescheduling difficult despite a four-game series. Petition once again that home teams without proper roof coverings have to forfeit games unplayable due to weather conditions if a convenient rescheduling date is not available.
Series Preview: Mariners (39-37) at Twins (37-40)
