Rangers Come to T-Mobile: Why This Weekend Series Matters More Than You Think

It’s April 15th, and the Mariners sit at 8-10. That’s not panic territory — it’s “time to get serious” territory. And what better way to do that than a three-game home series against one of the teams that already beat them this month? The Texas Rangers roll into T-Mobile Park this Friday, April 17th, for what may be the most important early-season series of 2026. Three games. A divisional rival. A chance to flip the script — or fall further behind in the AL West. ...

The Astros Are Coming to T-Mobile Park — And This Is a Series You Need to See

Ten games into the 2026 season, the Mariners are already getting tested. A two-game skid, a rash of early injuries, a Jo Adell home-run robbery that had to be seen to be believed — it’s been a rollercoaster April already. But the schedule is about to get very interesting, very fast. This Friday, the Houston Astros come to T-Mobile Park for a four-game series (April 10–13), and this is the kind of early-season divisional showdown that actually means something. ...

Big Cat Strikes Again: Cal Raleigh's Walk-Off Lifts Mariners to 2-0 Series Lead Over Yankees

Two games in. Two wins. Both 2-1. Both against the New York Yankees. If you needed a sign that the 2026 Seattle Mariners mean business, Cal Raleigh just handed you two of them back to back. On Tuesday night, March 31st, Big Cat delivered a walk-off single in the ninth inning to finish off the Yankees, giving the Mariners a 2-0 series lead heading into Wednesday’s rubber match. Combined with Monday’s 2-1 victory, Seattle has opened the young season with two of the tightest, most satisfying wins imaginable — low-scoring, well-pitched, decided by clutch hitting. Very Mariners. Very 2026. ...

Rough Start: Mariners Drop Opening Day, But the Series Isn't Over

Opening Day is supposed to feel like a reset — a clean slate, all the promise of 162 games ahead. For Mariners fans at T-Mobile Park on Thursday night, it mostly felt like a gut punch. Cleveland came in, their rookie Chase DeLauter homered on the second pitch he saw in his first regular-season at-bat, and the Guardians walked away with a 6-4 win to steal Game 1. That stings. But here’s the thing: it’s one game. The Mariners have three more chances against Cleveland this weekend before the Yankees come knocking. There is plenty of baseball left to play. ...

Best Seats at T-Mobile Park: A Section-by-Section Guide

T-Mobile Park is one of the better baseball stadiums in the American League. Good sightlines, a retractable roof that actually gets used, and a layout that doesn’t punish you for not spending $200 on a ticket. But the sections are not all created equal — there’s a big difference between “solid lower bowl seat for $35” and “overpriced corner seat where you’re watching the game at a 45-degree angle.” I’ve sat in probably 40 different sections at T-Mobile Park over the years. Here’s the honest breakdown of where to sit, what to expect, and how to find a deal. ...
