The Seattle Mariners have a slightly negative record with 40 wins and 42 losses in the 2022 MLB season, they are in second spot in the AL West but at least the team is in a position to reach the playoffs.

Julio Rodriguez has been playing for the Seattle Mariners since April 8, his MLB debut was with the Mariners, plus he is a young outfielder who has a lot to give and this season is likely to be special for him. To date Rodriguez has 15 home runs and 41 RBI.

The most recent game for the Seattle Mariners was a victory on July 4 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, the third consecutive victory for the Mariners since July 2, so far they have only one loss in July against the Oakland Athletics.
