Mariners News: Rocco Baldelli, Freddy Peralta, and Taylor Walls
World Series Game 3 kicks off tonight as the Tampa Bay Rays seek their first win over the 2-0 Milwaukee Brewers, with Freddy Peralta (now averaging 96.9 mph) facing Brewers left‑hander Robert Gasser. In Seattle news, former Twins manager Rocco Baldelli pulls out of the Mariners’ managerial search for family reasons, while The Seattle Times’ Adam Jude outlines three offseason priorities: a star shortstop, proven relievers, and a veteran utility player. Mariners analyst Kate Preusser joins The Enni Way podcast to discuss team identity and clubhouse leadership. Additional league updates note Astros hiring hitting director Connor Watson, Rangers closer Jacob Latz’s 2.13 ERA, and shortstop Taylor Walls’s elite defensive metrics.
The Opener: Gasser, Peralta, Rays’ Lineup
Facing a 2-0 hole, the Brewers send left‑hander Robert Gasser to the mound in Game 3 after limiting opponents to one run or fewer in seven of his last eight outings. The Rays counter with Freddy Peralta, who boasts a 1.13 ERA in three playoff starts at Tropicana Field and has allowed just two earned runs over 16 ⅓ innings this postseason. Milwaukee’s bullpen is fresh after the off‑day, while Tampa Bay’s lineup could see changes: Ryan Vilade and Ben Williamson may start, and Kevin Cash may opt for Nick Fortes behind the plate against lefties. Both teams rely on home‑field strengths—Tampa Bay’s 55 regular‑season home wins and Milwaukee’s 48 road victories—to spark a comeback.

Tim Hill’s two‑year Yankees stint began as a bullpen gem, posting a 2.48 ERA, a league‑best 68.3% ground‑ball rate and 128 appearances from June 2024 to May 2026. The left‑hander’s 2025 line showed a 4.60 ERA and -1.1 fWAR, and a disastrous May 22, 2026 outing against the Rays saw his ERA balloon to 6.23, his ground‑ball rate halve and 11 homers surrender. Manager Aaron Boone left him off the Wild Card and ALDS rosters, opting for Ryan Yarbrough instead. Now a free agent at 36, Hill’s future hinges on whether teams believe he can recapture his elite sinker‑induced ground balls.
