Mariners Head to San Diego on a Heater, But the Padres Are Rolling Too
The Seattle Mariners are riding high after sweeping the Houston Astros in four games, and they're taking that momentum straight down to Petco Park for a three-game series against a San Diego Padres team that's won five straight and eight of their last nine. This is exactly the kind of matchup that matters in April: two teams playing their best baseball colliding mid-week in an interleague showdown.
Bryan Woo Takes the Mound for Seattle
The Mariners are sending right-hander Bryan Woo to the mound on Tuesday night at 9:30 p.m. ET, and this is a big one for him personally. Woo is 0-1 on the season but has been absolutely solid, allowing just three earned runs across his first three starts. He's chasing his first win of 2026, and facing a streaking Padres offense that's clicking right now is no joke. The Padres are countering with veteran righty Michael King (1-1, 3.24 ERA), who notched his first win of the year last Wednesday at Pittsburgh and is making his second home start of the season.

Luke Raley is the story on the Mariners side offensively. The right fielder leads Seattle with three home runs and 10 RBIs so far and came into this series absolutely locked in, going 3-for-3 in consecutive games with a pair of extra base hits and three RBIs during that stretch. This is Raley's third season with the Mariners, and after missing nearly half of 2025 with oblique and back injuries that sidelined him for 89 games, seeing him healthy and producing matters.
San Diego has Jackson Merrill and Ramon Laureano both at 11 RBIs each to lead the way, though the Padres offense has been inconsistent at times. Laureano is the only everyday starter hitting above .268, which tells you the Padres are still searching for some consistency in their lineup.

First pitch is Tuesday, April 14 at 9:30 p.m. ET. You can catch it on MLB.TV or the Mariners' regional broadcast. The question is simple: does Seattle push the winning streak to five games, or do the Padres extend their dominance at home? This one matters.
