The Seattle Mariners are back in action for Game #44, and all eyes are on the mound tonight. After missing the first 43 games of the season with an oblique injury, right-hander Bryce Miller is finally set to make his 2025 debut—and it couldn’t come at a bigger moment. Miller, who last pitched in the ALCS, has been sidelined by injuries that derailed a promising start to his career. His last two rehab starts showed some encouraging adjustments, and tonight, we’ll be watching his pitch mix and how his velocity holds up as the game goes on. Will he pick up where he left off?
The Mariners are riding high after wins in Games 1 and 2 of this four-game set in Houston. They’re looking to clinch the series tonight, and history is on their side. Seattle has won nine straight against the Astros, including a sweep in Houston back in May and another sweep last September that all but locked up the AL West. Can they keep the streak alive?
One notable change to the lineup: Brendan Donovan is getting a scheduled day off after being activated from the injured list at the start of this road trip. The Mariners are being cautious with him, but he did take some early fielding work today. In his place, Leo Rivas slides in at third base, and J.P. Crawford moves up to the leadoff spot to spark the offense.
Tonight’s game will be broadcast on Mariners.TV with Aaron Goldsmith, Dave Valle, Jay Buhner, and Brad Adam on the call. For radio listeners, tune in to 710 AM Seattle Sports with Rick Rizzs and Gary Hill Jr.
