This could be one of the best battles at Safeco Field this season. The Indians have one of the most exciting shortstops in the game in Francisco Lindor. They also added slugger Edwin Encarnacion.
Friday’s series opener will be Fan Appreciation Night and all fans will receive a team poster. Saturday will be Oktoberfest, with a pre-game party. Sunday will be Kids Appreciation Day with a Moose poster.
This will be your last chance to see the Mariners play a regular season game at home. Hopefully, this will not be the last series at home, as they have dreams of at least hosting a playoff game.
This will be a fantastic atmosphere heading into October. It came down to the last week of the season last year and this season should not be any different.
