Mariners Game #77 Preview: 6/20/22, SEA at CLE

Closing up the season series with Cleveland

Here’s some good news: after today the Mariners are done with Cleveland for the regular season. Good. It’s my mom’s birthday today, so please win one for her, Mariners. She’ll make you all brownies if you do.

Lineups:

I’m assuming they made an error with the first lineup? No leave Bo Naylor at shortstop, that’s fine, really.
