Pirates bring road slide into matchup with the Mariners
- For Sunday’s series finale, the Mariners conclude their T-Mobile Park homestand against Pittsburgh Pirates in a premier pitching matchup between All-Star George Kirby and Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
- Following Seattle’s offensive slump after returning to T-Mobile Park, the Mariners face their last chance to secure wins before a tough road trip and the All-Star break.
- Skenes has a 2.03 ERA with 115 strikeouts in 111 innings this season, while Kirby has allowed one earned run in six innings twice, with no official starter announced for Sunday.
- Depending on the outcome, the Mariners' win could help close the division gap as Astros face the Dodgers before the All-Star break.
- Beyond this game, no official starter is announced for Sunday, but Kirby's next scheduled start is in Detroit against Tarik Skubal.
