Game Context & Stakes

The Mariners are riding high after an 11–2 blowout win in the series opener, improving to 3–1 in the season series against Minnesota. Seattle has now won 7 of its last 10 games, averaging 6.2 runs per contest during that stretch.

The Twins, meanwhile, are in a tailspin—losing eight of their last nine and enduring a five-game home losing streak. Their pitching staff has posted a 7.43 ERA over the last 10 games, and they’ve been outscored by 35 runs in that span.

Probable Starting Pitchers

Seattle Mariners – Luis Castillo (RHP)

  • Record: 4–5
  • ERA: 3.38
  • WHIP: 1.12
  • Last Start: 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 5 K vs. Red Sox
  • Scouting Report: Castillo has been steady, allowing 3 ER or fewer in 9 of his last 10 starts. He’ll look to exploit a slumping Twins lineup that’s struggled against right-handers.

Minnesota Twins – Chris Paddack (RHP)

  • Record: 3–6
  • ERA: 4.48
  • WHIP: 1.39
  • Last Start: 5.0 IP, 4 ER vs. Reds
  • Scouting Report: Paddack has allowed 4+ earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Twins have lost 5 of his last 6 outings, and he’ll need to be sharp to contain Seattle’s red-hot bats.
