Cincinnati Reds Series Preview: Seattle Mariners

CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Reds completed a three game weekend sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Sunday to move to 9-6 on the season. Now, they travel out west for the first time this season for a three game series against the Seattle Mariners.

Cincinnati played well in Chicago, with tremendous pitching performances from Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, and Graham Ashcraft. Plus, they flashed the leather in the outfield and stole a slew of bases. Beating up on a bad team for an entire series is a great way to build momentum, and the Reds will try to take it with them to Seattle.

The Mariners are coming off of a home weekend series with the Chicago Cubs, where they dropped two out of three to the Cubbies. Seattle enters this series at 6-10, and struggling in the American League West.

Here’s our series preview of the interleague matchup:

GAME 1

WHERE: T-Mobile Park

WHEN: Monday, April 15, 9:42 PM

STARTING PITCHERS: Frankie Montas (CIN), George Kirby (SEA)

Frankie Montas will look to rebound from a tough outing against the Mariners. He lasted just five innings in that outing and allowed three earned runs. Montas prides himself on being pitch-efficient, but he wasn’t against the Brewers, throwing 96 pitches. The Mariners have one of the worst team batting averages in MLB, so look for Montas to be aggressive and challenge the Mariners hitters.

George Kirby enters this matchup with the Reds off of a rough outing against the Toronto Blue Jays. He allowed five earned runs in four innings in that one. In his last two starts, Kirby has allowed 13 earned runs in 7.2 innings of work.

GAME 2

WHERE: T-Mobile Park

WHEN: Tuesday, April 16, 9:40 PM

STARTING PITCHERS: Hunter Greene (CIN), Logan Gilbert (SEA)

The development of Hunter Greene this season is one the Reds and their fans will be watching closely. After a tremendous outing against the Mets in his second start of the year, Greene struggled against Milwaukee. His inability to be consistent has led to some Reds fans wondering if he can ever be a top of the rotation starter, and even if he’s best suited for the bullpen.

With Seattle’s offensive woes, this game is a perfect opportunity for Greene to get back on track. He has faced only three of these current Mariners hitters in his career but has only allowed hits to one of them: Luis Arias. With two home runs and four RBI in four at-bats against Greene, Arias will be one to keep an eye on on Tuesday.

Right-hander Logan Gilbert will look to continue his strong start for Seattle. In three starts this season, Gilbert has a 2.66 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 20 innings of work. He’s worked deep into games, too. Going seven or more innings in two of his three starts.

GAME 3

WHERE: T-Mobile Park

WHEN: Wednesday, April 17, 4:10 PM

STARTING PITCHERS: Andrew Abbott (CIN), Bryce Miller (SEA)

Andrew Abbott is scheduled to start the series finale. He has a 2.60 ERA so far this season. Abbott rolled through the White Sox lineup on Friday night, surrendering just four hits in seven innings of work. He went seven innings, his longest outing of the season, and allowed just one earned run. The Mariners have only faced a lefty in nine games this season and are batting just a tick over .230 against them.

The Reds have faced a left-handed starter in every series they’ve played this season up until now. Seattle will throw right-hander Bryce Miller on Wednesday. Miller has a 1.96 ERA in 18 innings this season. He was tremendous this weekend against the Cubs, allowing just three hits in 6.1 innings against a Cubs lineup that has hit well to start the season. Miller has not put up big strikeout numbers this season, with just 17 on the year.

WHAT ELSE?

Monday marks one of Major League Baseball’s best traditions: Jackie Robinson Day. The league does a great job honoring Robinson, who broke the color barrier on April 15, 1947. In 1997, Ken Griffey Jr. honored the 50th Anniversary of Robinson’s debut by switching his No. 24 with the Mariners to 42. He did it again in 2007 as a member of the Reds, after asking permission of MLB Commissioner Bud Selig who allowed anyone who wanted to wear the number to wear it as well. Selig then designated that every player wear No. 42 in 2009, and the tradition has stood ever since.

With Griffey still involved in the Mariners organization and his connection to the Reds and Jackie Robinson Day, and with the Mariners giving away a Junior bobblehead all three games of this series, don’t be surprised if The Kid makes an appearance.

Seattle Seahawks Injury Updates: Status of trio of DBs

There were Seattle Seahawks injury updates on Friday regarding three defensive backs coming out of the Hawks’ overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Seahawks’ Derick Hall suspended one game for stepping on player

Here’s a look at the updates, as well as insight from head coach Mike Macdonald and additional information from ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler.

• The biggest concern for the Seahawks coming out of the game is safety Coby Bryant, who has a knee injury. Macdonald said in a press conference Friday that Bryant would “get imaged,” meaning undergo an MRI. Fowler reported on social media that, per sources, Bryant is “expected to miss ‘some time’ based on initial tests.”

• Cornerback Riq Woolen has a knee concern of his own, but Fowler reported that it’s “not considered serious” and that, per a source, Woolen “more so got ‘banged up.’”

• Versatile defensive back Nick Emmanwori was evaluated for a concussion late in Thursday’s game, but Macdonald said he cleared concussion protocol.

The Seahawks improved to 12-3 with their win over the Rams, giving them a one-game lead over Los Angeles for both first place in the NFC West and the No. 1 seed to the postseason out of the NFC. The Seahawks also clinched a playoff spot with the dramatic comeback victory.

The next Seahawks game will be at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28 on the road against the Carolina Panthers (7-7). Radio coverage on Seattle Sports will begin at 7 a.m. that day with the pregame show.

Roster Moves: Seattle Seahawks activate Young off IR

The Seattle Seahawks activated wide receiver Dareke Young from injured reserve and elevated running back Cam Akers and offensive tackle Amari Knight off the practice squad Thursday ahead of their pivotal primetime showdown against the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field.

Bump & Stacy: 3 keys for Seattle Seahawks to beat the Rams

Young, 26, has missed Seattle’s past eight games with a quadricep injury. The fourth-year pro is a key special teams member for the Seahawks and was on the field for over 50% of the team’s special teams snaps in each of the six games he’s played this season. He has seven tackles and 10 kickoff returns for 322 yards. He also has two receptions for 48 yards.

Akers, 26, would be making his Seahawks debut against his former team if he gets into Thursday’s game. He played in three games for the Minnesota Vikings earlier this season and totaled 19 yards on five carries.

A sixth-year pro, Akers spent three-plus seasons with the Rams after they selected him in the second round of the 2020 draft out of Florida State. Akers’ best season with Los Angeles came in 2022 when he rushed for career highs of 786 yards and seven touchdowns. He has 2,044 yards and 13 TDs on the ground in 56 career NFL games.

Knight, 24, provides the Seahawks with some depth at tackle with starting left tackle Charles Cross ruled out for Thursday’s game with a hamstring injury. Veteran backup Josh Jones is getting the start in place of Cross.

Knight went undrafted out of UCF and made his pro debut in Seattle’s Week 4 win over Arizona.

The Seahawks face the Rams on Thursday night at 5:15 p.m. Radio coverage begins at 2 p.m. with the pregame show on Seattle Sports 710 AM and the Seattle sports app.
