The Seattle Mariners are getting closer.
They swept a three-game weekend series with the Houston Astros to take a three-game lead in the AL West Division.
The Mariners are 87-69, with six games left to play in the regular season, which concludes Sunday.
It’s time to buckle up.
Do the Mariners play today?
No, the Seattle Mariners do not play on Monday, Sept. 22.
There are only three MLB games today, and Seattle isn’t involved. Major League Baseball appears to have kept most of the schedule open this day for potential makeup games and to allow teams to prep for the final week of the season.
When is the Mariners’ next game?
The Seattle Mariners’ next game is Tuesday, Sept. 23.
They’ll take on the Colorado Rockies in Seattle with a 6:40 p.m. local time first pitch in the Pacific Northwest.
Mariners’ remaining schedule
The Mariners play six more games, all at home, and oddly all against the NL West (all times listed Pacific Time):
- Sept. 23: Rockies, 6:40 p.m.
- Sept. 24: Rockies, 6:40 p.m.
- Sept. 25: Rockies, 6:40 p.m.
- Sept. 26: Dodgers, 6:40 p.m.
- Sept. 27: Dodgers, 6:40 p.m.
- Sept. 28: Dodgers, 12:10 p.m.
What is the Mariners’ magic number?
After the three-game sweep of the Astros, the Mariners’ magic number is three.
That’s specifically to clinch the AL West. They need their victories and the Astros’ losses to add up to three over the final week of the season.
