 In the last two series between these teams in Seattle, the Mariners have gone 5-1, posting a 0.57 ERA from their bullpen over that span. The Mariners have hit 10 home runs over those games compared to four home runs for the Twins.

 The Mariners are coming off a two-game sweep of the A's, Seattle's fourth time sweeping an opponent in 2019. Today's opponent, the Twins, are one of three teams with more series sweeps this season: Astros (six), Twins (five) and Dodgers (five).

 The Twins allowed three runs in the ninth inning yesterday before winning, 8-7. Minnesota is 8-4 (.667) in one-run games this season, the best record of any AL team in one-run games. The Mariners have won 10 games by one run, most of any team in the American League.

 Since 2017, Edwin Encarnacion has 38 RBI against Minnesota -- the only American Leaguers with more against any team over that span are Khris Davis (43 vs. Rangers), George Springer (41 vs. Rangers), and Nelson Cruz (39 vs. A's).

 The Twins 7, 8, and 9 hitters each drove in a pair of runs yesterday. As a combined bottom third of the batting order, Minnesota ranks second in MLB in batting average (.272), first in OPS (.854), first in extra-base hits (61) and second in runs scored (72).

 Jorge Polanco hit his fifth triple of 2019 yesterday, one shy of the MLB leaders (Adalberto Mondesi, Whit Merrifield). It was his 25th extra-base hit, tying him with George Springer for most in the AL. Polanco is one of nine MLB qualifiers with an OPS over 1.000 this season (1.022).

HP - Barry, 1B - Gibson, 2B - Visconti, 3B - Marquez

Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will try to find a way to cool down the red-hot bats of the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon and help the host Seattle Mariners avoid a four-game sweep by the American League Central Division leaders.
The 27-year-old Kikuchi (2-1, 3.64 ERA) hasn't faced the Twins in his career and comes in off a no-decision in his last start against Oakland, a 6-5 win by the Mariners on Monday during which he allowed three runs on five hits over six innings. That came after an impressive 10-1 victory in New York where he held the Yankees to just one run and three hits over 7 2/3 innings.

M's Kikuchi gets next shot at cooling off Twins' bats

SEATTLE (AP)  The Seattle Mariners expected Edwin Encarnacion would make an impact with his bat this season.
His glovework, that's been a bonus.
