**Mariners Aim for Sweep as Hot Streak Continues in Seattle**
**SEATTLE, WA** – The Seattle Mariners are riding a wave of momentum as they host the St. Louis Cardinals for the final game of their three-game series today, looking to complete a sweep. Fresh off back-to-back series victories, first against the Atlanta Braves on the road and now against the Cardinals at home, the Mariners have won four straight games and are aiming for their first series sweep since early August.
Right-hander Logan Gilbert will take the mound for the Mariners, looking to continue his recent strong form. In his last three starts, Gilbert has consistently pitched at least six innings, boasting an impressive 2.37 FIP and a 38% strikeout rate. He previously faced the Cardinals last September, where he recorded 10 strikeouts over eight innings while allowing only two runs, in a game that ended in a 2-0 Cardinals loss.
The Cardinals will counter with right-hander Michael McGreevy. In response, the Mariners are deploying a lineup geared towards facing right-handed pitching, with Dom Canzone starting in right field and Cole Young making his first start at second base since September 2nd.
