Yusei Kikuchi

The Seattle Mariners batters were stymied once again tonight (May 17) mustering just 4 hits and a lone run at the hand of starting pitcher Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers in the first of a three-game home series at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger cranked both his 9th and 10th home runs of the 2021 season to pull into a tie for the American League lead in round-trippers but it wasn't enough as the M's bullpen couldn't hold on to a 4-1 lead late in the game at Chavez Ravine against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Yusei Kikuchi took a no-hit bid into the the seventh inning, Taylor Trammell homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Houston Astros 1-0 to avoid a four-game series sweep.

The Seattle Mariners had a couple of rarities today. First, they were able to rough up Zack Greinke. Second, their thus-reliable bullpen imploded in the 8th inning giving up 5 runs en route to 7-5 loss to the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.

While it is virtually impossible to go 162-0 in Major League Baseball, as fans exited T-Mobile Park last night (April 1) following a dramatic 8-7 come-from-behind win in 10 innings against San Francisco on Opening Day, there was nary a Mariners fan that couldn't help but utter the words "undefeated" as they were exiting the ballpark. Well, that didn't last long.

Yusei Kikuchi is about to begin his third season in the majors pitching for the Seattle Mariners and it's going to be the most important one because of the structure of his contract.

Even the most optimistic of Mariners fans knew that the truncated 2020 season was going to be filled with growing pains as General Manager Jerry DiPoto had to tear a veteran-laden team down to the studs to replenish a depleted farm system. The rebuild may be happening ahead of schedule.

Seattle's Shed Long, who had three hits and scored the go-ahead run on an unusual inning-ending double play in the 11th as the Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5.

Aaron Judge became the third-fastest player in baseball history to reach 100 home runs, Masahiro Tanaka outpitched Yusei Kikuchi as the Yankees beat Seattle 7-0.

Yusei Kikuchi needed just 96 pitches to complete a two-hitter Sunday that led the Mariners over the Toronto Blue Jays 7-0, Seattle's third shutout of the season.
