The Seattle Mariners, languishing at 8-11, are hoping to channel some magic at Petco Park in San Diego, where they'll face a Padres team that's crushing it at 12-6. This American League West vs National League West showdown features a 8:40 PM ET first pitch, with MLB.TV and MLB Network broadcasting the action. The Mariners are sending Luis Castillo to the mound; he's been...erm...getting acquainted with the injury report, posting a 6.92 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 13 innings. Not exactly the vintage form we expect from Castillo.
The Padres counter with Walker Buehler, who's sporting a 4.97 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 12.2 frames. While neither pitcher is lighting up the stat sheet, Buehler's numbers are a bit more palatable. Meanwhile, the Mariners are dealing with some IL-induced growing pains; Miles Mastrobuoni and Victor Robles are sidelined, which can't help their .209 team batting average.
