American League West foes tangle Friday night when the Mariners and Angels begin their three-game series in Anaheim.
It's been a topsy-turvy couple of weeks for Seattle, which fired longtime manager Scott Servais after relinquishing a10-game lead in the American League West in less than two months. But the Mariners are 4-2 under new manager Dan Wilson, staying within striking distance of the first-place Astros.
Should Seattle surge back into the postseason picture, it will need more from its offense, in particular star outfielder Julio Rodriguez. Since returning from an ankle injury on Aug. 11, Rodriguez is hitting just .190, but he did hit a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Rays.
