Last night, the Mariners completed a sweep of the Angels with a 1-0 series finale victory, thanks to another dominant performance from Bryce Miller, who carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Now the question is: has Miller done enough in his brief time to secure an All-Star nod? In Mariners news… Julio Rodríguez will be evaluated today after leaving last night’s game when he was struck in the back of the helmet by a throw. As Brendan Donovan advances through his injury rehab, he’s receiving help from an unlikely source—Ichiro. Travis Sawchik analyzed the numbers to understand Cal Raleigh’s performance this season. Around the league… MLB handed suspensions to Cade Cavalli (7 games), Miles Mikolas (5 games), Willson Contreras (7 games), and Nate Eaton (3 games) for their roles in Tuesday’s Nationals–Red Sox brawl. Brent Stecker at Seattle Sports covered the local angle of the MLB Futures Game, with Seattle-born Astros prospect Xavier Neyens named to the American League squad at just 19. Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic offered predictions for this year’s All-Star rosters, to be announced Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. PT. Jay Jaffe at Fangraphs outlined the worst defensive situations among playoff contenders, while Craig Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus critiqued the league’s approach to marketing its CBA proposals. That’s former Mariner Brett de Geus to you—for better SEO.
