Sun Apr 06 22:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Mariners Face Untested Starter Hicks in Sunday Matinee

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners will face a unique challenge this Sunday as they take on San Francisco Giants starter Jordan Hicks, a pitcher yet to win a Cy Young Award. While the Mariners offense showed signs of life Saturday with seven hits and six walks, they’ll need to overcome Hicks’ strong start to the 2025 season following his transition from the bullpen. The Giants’ lineup presents a significant threat against fastballs, posing a challenge for Mariners’ pitcher Bryan Woo.

Adding to the Mariners’ concerns, second baseman Jorge Polanco is out of the lineup for a second consecutive day, following his return from the paternity list. However, the team may find solace in the hot start of Dylan Moore. Luke Raley will start at first base despite the presence of Tellez on the roster.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PT. The game will be televised on ROOT and the ROOT Sports App and broadcast on local radio.
