Mariners to Face Cubs: Will Seattle's Recent Upswing Continue at Home?

As the Mariners gear up for their next challenge against the Cubs, fans are eager to see if the team can maintain their recent upswing in performance. The upcoming game, scheduled for April 14th at 20:10 UTC at T-Mobile Park, promises to be an exciting match-up.

The Mariners have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games. They secured a tight win against the Guardians with a final score of 5-4, demonstrating resilience by overcoming an early deficit. The bullpen played a crucial role, maintaining a low ERA of 2.455 and showcasing impressive control with no walks allowed over 3.2 innings pitched.

However, in their encounter with the Red Sox, the Mariners faced difficulties as they lost one game with only one run scored compared to Boston's five runs and won another in extra innings by scoring three runs in the tenth inning after both teams were tied at one run each through nine innings. Despite these challenges, there were positive takeaways; notably, Tayler Saucedo from the bullpen secured a win while maintaining an ERA of just 3.0 over three innings pitched.

The team's hitting statistics reveal areas for improvement; they've been batting .194 across these games with on-base percentages hovering around .237 and slugging percentages at .194 as well - indicating that generating offense has been challenging.

T-Mobile Park could play into Seattle's hands as they have shown tenacity on home turf recently – especially during clutch moments like those extra innings against Boston.
