Excitement is in the air as the Seattle Mariners embark on their first road trip of the season, with J.P. Crawford making his anticipated return to the lineup. Activated from the injured list just a day prior, Crawford is set to make his 2026 debut, a pivotal moment as he navigates what could be his final season with the Mariners.

On the mound for Seattle is Bryan Woo, coming off an impressive outing where he struck out nine batters over six innings against the Guardians. Woo will be looking to replicate that performance against the Los Angeles Angels, who are prepared to face the Mariners’ lefty-heavy lineup. Reid Detmers will take the hill for the Angels, a matchup that has been analyzed in our series preview by Jake Mailhot.

Fans can catch the action starting at 6:38 PM PDT on Mariners TV and MLB Network for viewers outside the market. For radio listeners, 710 KIRO will have the coverage to keep you in the loop.
