Mariners vs Guardians: Offense or Bust

The Mariners are in a slump, scoring fewer than four runs in each of their last several games, but they’re still hanging tough in the AL West thanks to divisional rivals also struggling. Heading to Cleveland, they’ll face a Guardians team reeling without star third baseman José Ramírez, who’s sidelined until August. Rookie Travis Bazzana is stepping up as the top hitter, but the Guardians’ offense has cratered without Ramírez, with Steven Kwan and Kyle Manzardo faltering. The Mariners’ pitching trio—Castillo, Gilbert, and Kirby—faces off against Guardians’ young arms Cantillo, Cecconi, and Williams. This series is crucial: Seattle needs to break out offensively while their division stays competitive. Can their pitching hold the line while the bats finally wake up?
