Seattle is coming to this game after losing in their last game against Minnesota. The game ended up coming down to a blowout loss for the Mariners by a 10-2 score. The loss dropped the Mariners to a 3-4 record on the year, but the win allowed Minnesota to move up to a 5-2 record. 

The offense for Seattle has managed to get only 27 runs with 2 homers. The Mariners are hitting at a clip of .207 on the year with a total of 40 hits. The Twins have ended up hitting at a clip of .255 with 55 hits. The Twins have scored a total of 36 runs, but have managed to get a total of 8 homers.

Tustin Kikuchi is the starting pitcher the Mariners are looking to put on the mound. Kikuchi is coming in with an 0-0 record and a 4.50 ERA. Kikuchi has ended up throwing 6 innings with 6 hits allowed, but has struck out 10 batters on the year.

The Twins are countering with Michael Pineda. Pineda has posted a 1-0 record on the year and has thrown a total of 5 innings while giving up 4 hits and striking out a total of 5 batters on the year. 

The Mariners would actually have a chance here if the hitting could catch up to the strong pitching from Kikuchi. The Mariners hitters, though, are unable to keep up the pace or even pick it up that much as the Twins are able to rely on Pineda to shut down the Mariners offense and that will give the Twins the win in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 6-2.
