The New York Yankees welcome the Seattle Mariners this Monday for the start of a three-game series between the two postseason contenders. Check out our preview below of this Mariners vs. Yankees 2022 MLB regular season game.
The Mariners are coming off a 3-2 loss on the road to the New York Yankees Sunday, though they still won that series with two wins overall. However, the Mariners might have lost some key players to injuries in that contest, including budding star Julio Rodriguez, who hits the 10-day injured list with a hand injury. Taking the mound for the Mariners in this upcoming contest against the Yankees will be Marco Gonzales, who has a 6-10 record along with a 3.66 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. In his last start, Gonzales allowed just a couple of earned runs on four hits in 7.0 innings during a 4-2 victory over the Texas Rangers at home on July 27. The Mariners’ offense is slashing .233/.316/.384 this season.
The Mariners are 6-0 in their last six games against teams from the American League East division.
The Yankees lost to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, 8-6, but they are 3-1 in their last four games overall. They also still are heads and shoulders above the rest of their rivals in the AL East, and that will very much likely be the state of things for the Bronx Bombers for the rest of the regular season. Taking the mound for the Yankees in this upcoming contest will be Domingo German, who will be making just his third start of the season. German has allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits over 7.2 innings in his last two appearances on the mound for New York. In his last start, German surrendered a couple of earned runs on five hits with seven strikeouts in 4.2 innings of work during a 3-2 road loss to the New York Mets on July 28. The Yankees’ offense is slashing .245/.331/.444 this season.
The Yankees are 5-1 in their last six games on a Monday.
