The Mariners look to shake off a slow start when they host the Cubs in the second game of this week's 'Friday Night Baseball' doubleheader on Apple TV+.
Seattle (5-8) is still searching for its first series victory on the season. As a team, the Mariners have the third-worst batting average in MLB at .207, with the most strikeouts at 138.
Their stars have struggled, too. Outfielder Julio Rodriguez has a .196 average with a .470 OPS, while ace Luis Castillo is 0-3 with a 6.89 ERA through his first three starts.
The Cubs (7-5) enter the middle stage of a nine-game West Coast swing, which got off to a rocky start against the Padres. San Diego won two of three, as Chicago coughed up an 8-0 lead in the opening game of the series.
Christopher Morel, Dansby Swanson, and Seiya Suzuki have gotten off to strong starts to lead the Cubs' offense, while the emergence of rookie Shota Imanaga on the mound (0.00 ERA in 10 IP) has helped mitigate the loss of ace Justin Steele to a hamstring injury
