9/27/23 Dusty Baker tired of Astros getting hit? His team hits Mariners more. In the second game of the Seattle Mariners' all-important series against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night, a pair of Astros had to wear some pitches from M's relievers.

A couple innings later, Mariners fireballer Andrés Muñoz uncorked a 99 mph fastball on his own first pitch in the game, which hit Astros outfielder Chas McCormick square in the lower back.

3/27/23 Drayer: A look at Mariners roster essentially set for opening day. With the Mariners optioning relief pitcher Justin Topa to Triple-A Tacoma and re-assigning infielder Mason McCoy to minor league camp Monday, the spring roster now stands at 28.
