QUICK SUMMARY

The Seattle Mariners aim to recover from a tough weekend series against the Mets as they face the Phillies today. Cal Raleigh leads the majors with 47 home runs, while Victor Robles faces potential suspension for an incident in a Triple-A game. The Seahawks and Storm also had notable performances, with the Seahawks winning their preseason game against the Chiefs.

The Mariners are looking to bounce back after losing two of three games against the Mets, including a 7-3 setback in the Little League Classic. Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 47th home run, positioning him just one behind Salvador Perez for the most homers in a season by a catcher. Victor Robles could face suspension after an incident where he threw his bat at a pitcher in a Triple-A game. The Seahawks impressed in their preseason 33-16 win over the Chiefs, with Sam Darnold completing all four of his passes during the opening drive. Drew Lock added two touchdown passes, and the defense limited Kansas City to just three points in the second half. The Storm managed to snap a six-game losing streak but faced another defeat against the Mercury, indicating ongoing challenges. Seattle's sports teams are in critical phases of their seasons, with the Mariners concluding their East Coast road trip and the Seahawks preparing for their final preseason game against the Packers. The mixed results reflect the competitive nature of the local sports landscape.
