Mariners News<\/p>\n
The Mariners are gearing up for their first road game of the season tonight.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re in Anaheim for the start of a three-game series against the Angels in a divisional battle.<\/p>\n
The M\u2019s are looking to avoid dropping their third straight and revive an offense that put up just five runs in three games against the Yankees. But they\u2019re getting a boost to their lineup with shortstop J.P. Crawford making his season debut.<\/p>\n
The team took Crawford off the injured list yesterday after he dealt with right shoulder inflammation. He played one game with Triple-A Tacoma earlier this week and was set to play a second before Wednesday\u2019s game got rained out.<\/p>\n
Ryan Bliss was optioned back to the Rainiers to make room on the roster for the 10-year vet.<\/p>\n
The Mariners will look to get back on track against an Angels squad that owns an identical 3-4 record, but have lost four of their last five.<\/p>\n
Bryan Woo is taking the mound for tonight\u2019s series opener. Coverage begins at 6:00 and first pitch is at 7:04 on KPUG.<\/p>\n
Kraken News<\/p>\n
The struggling Kraken suffered yet another setback in their race for the playoffs. They choked an early lead in their 6-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth last night.<\/p>\n
The night started off strong with a pregame ceremony to commemorate defenseman Adam Larsson\u2019s 1,000th career game before Jordan Eberle scored less than a minute into the match. Bobby McMann added another goal to give Seattle a 2-0 lead late in the first period, but Utah responded with six unanswered goals to hand the Kraken their third straight loss.<\/p>\n
They now sit four points behind the Sharks, Predators and Kings, who are locked in a three-way tie for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
Urgency is at an all-time high for Seattle now with just eight games remaining. They\u2019ll look to snap their skid tomorrow night against the Chicago Blackhawks.<\/p>\n
Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KBAI.<\/p>\n
