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.

On Jackie Robinson Day, which celebrated the 74th anniversary of the breaking of the color barrier in Major League Baseball, the Seattle Mariners, fittingly, defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 in the first game of a twin bill en route to a sweep and a 3-1 series win that vaulted the M's (8-5) into first place in the American League West.

Austin Nola supplied the power at the dish and Taijuan Walker overcame surrendering a couple of gopher balls to pace the Seattle Mariners to a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday (Aug. 19) night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle to help break a seven-game losing streak.

You can bet the sound of Ian Hunter's anthem "Cleveland Rocks" will be blaring throughout much of Ohio tonight and for good reason.

Tonight's wrap-up of the three game series between the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be highlighted by many dignitaries in attendance to pay tribute to former Dodger Jack "Jackie" Roosevelt Robinson on what Major League Baseball has deemed Jackie Robinson Day.

Steve Perry, former lead singer of the band Journey, clearly doesn't go to baseball games to blend in with the crowed.

Growing up in Yakima and being fascinated by the radio, I cannot remember a time when I wasn't familiar with the voice of Frank Taylor. Likewise, as a dyed-in-the-wool "seamhead," I don't recall a day in my life that I was not a fan of the Great American Game -- baseball.
