Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images It being Father’s Day and all, I’m going to lean into Boy Content and make the central point of today’s recap through a scene from The Sopranos. One of my favorite scenes is an early one, from Season 1, Episode 9, where Tony and Artie are dining in a fancy restaurant and notice a younger man at another table wearing a baseball cap. After they briefly complain to each other about it, they try to move back to their actual conversation. But they can’t.

Kevin Ng-Imagn Images For having gotten swept in the desert to fall under .500 for the first time since mid-April on Wednesday, the Mariners have responded with basically the best two games they could to revive some enthusiasm for the team. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for them to pull off a sweep of their own. Before we get to the lineups, I have a couple charts.

In an all-too common refrain lately, the Mariners will seek to avoid a sweep today. At least they’ll be able to hand the ball to Bryan Woo in their effort to do so. Notwithstanding that Woo has been the Mariners’ most reliable starter this year (a wild turn of events!), it’s been a minute since he was truly excellent, having given up a pair of dingers in each of his last two starts and ten hits in the game before that. Maybe he turns it around today.

Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images All-Star voting is currently open, which is always an exciting time to reflect on standout performances, and a nice distraction if your favorite team has been falling down rather than standing out lately. Each squad has 32 spots on it, 20 for position players and 12 for pitchers. Fans will elect the starters through a two-round voting process. Players select another 17.

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images George Kirby missed nearly all of Spring Training and the first six weeks of the season with shoulder inflammation, and when he returned, his first three starts looked like a guy who’d missed nearly all of Spring Training and the first six weeks of the season with shoulder inflammation. But of course, that’s not who George Kirby is. He’s an All-Star with one of the finest combinations of stuff and command in baseball.
