Right.
Kate Anderson tossed seven shutout innings on Sunday.
Dominic Canzone drove in two runs and Seattle beat Colorado two to one to avoid going home empty handed.

Exactly.
So let's get straight into it.
Segment one, the series and the pitching probables.
They just finished a grueling four-game set in Colorado, winning two of those games in dramatic fashion.
Now they turn around to face one of the best offenses in the league.
It is a brutal schedule, Nicole.
And when you look at the pitching situation, it is complicated.
And given his performance earlier this season, he is a strong candidate to start Game 1 here at home.
But we also have to consider Bryce Miller, who showed incredible poise late in the Rockies series.
And George Kirby? He is still part of the mix, right? Or is he being managed carefully after that long trip west?
