Fun Fact

Ichiro Suzuki Debut: On April 2, 2001, the Mariners’ Ichiro Suzuki made his Major League Baseball debut against the White Sox. Ichiro had two hits in that game, and he went on to win both the American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards that season.

Prediction

While the Mariners are in a 3-way fight for the AL West, the White Sox are looking to offload the few talented pieces they have. I expect another sweep and a tie for the team record 14-straight losses.

Up Next

On the other side of the weekend, the Sox will take on the Kansas City Royals in a 3-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field.
