But of course, that’s not who George Kirby is. He’s an All-Star with one of the finest combinations of stuff and command in baseball. For...

The Angels will counter with old friend Tyler Anderson. He’s having a pretty classic Tyler Anderson season,...

Another winnable one slips out of the Mariners’ butterfingers
In a way, it’s good that the Mariners have been playing so terribly over this stretch. That way, I didn’t get my hopes up when they raced out to a quick lead on Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz, thanks to back-to-back singles from Jorge Polanco and Julio Rodríguez, and the The Best Catcher in Baseball being The Best Catcher in Baseball:
The Mariners added another run in the second,...
