Mariners Moose Tracks, 5/5/22: Fernando Abad, Madison Bumgarner, and Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Mariners are back home and are ready for blood.
Well, the road trip from hell is finally over. Now seems like a good time to remember that the Mariners were 21-26 on the morning of May 23, 2021 with lineups featuring the likes of Jack Mayfield and Jacob Nottingham. There is still plenty of season left! Now, let’s break down the latest from around the sport.
