Mariners manager Dan Wilson addresses staff pitching struggles during Athletics series
Summary

Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson spoke to the media Saturday at T-Mobile Park regarding the team's pitching decline over the past two months. The Mariners enter Saturday six games behind for the final American League wild card spot following consecutive losses to the Athletics. Logan Gilbert allowed seven earned runs in 4.2 innings during Friday’s 7-6 loss, contributing to a team ERA of 5.89 over the last 40 games, which ranks as the worst in the major leagues. The organization faces additional roster challenges as relief pitcher Matt Brash remains sidelined for the remainder of the season with lat inflammation. The rotation, which previously relied on a consistent core of starting pitchers, must now adjust its approach to attacking hitters to improve late-season results.
