Spring Training Split: M's Beat Rockies, Fall to Padres in Split-Squad Action
The Mariners had themselves a classic spring training day on March 17, splitting a pair of split-squad games. One side got a W out in Colorado, while the other took an L against San Diego. This is baseball in March, folks, but every at-bat counts when you're fine-tuning for the grind ahead.
Colorado Victory
The good news came from the high country. Seattle's squad out in Colorado took care of business against the Rockies, grabbing a 10-6 win. This is exactly the kind of game the Mariners want to see in spring training: solid offensive output, enough pitching to get the job done, and a W in the books. Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez continue to get their reps in as the heart of this lineup gets ready for Opening Day.
San Diego Loss
Meanwhile, the other half of the squad had a tougher go against the Padres. That one didn't go the Mariners' way, but again, it's spring training. The real games are coming soon enough, and these split-squad contests are really about getting everyone on the roster game-ready before the calendar flips to April.
Spring Training Grind Continues
The Mariners are in the thick of spring training now with Game 24 in the books. There's still plenty of time to shake off the rust and get the lineup clicking. The split results are just part of the process this time of year. What matters is that Seattle's getting valuable looks at who's ready and who needs more time. Come Opening Day, we'll see which version of the Mariners team shows up, but for now, it's all about preparation and staying healthy heading into the regular season.
