Entering the finale, the Mariners sit at 51-51 while the Reds hold a 46-54 record. Tuesday’s victory proved to be a showcase of power, with the teams combining for five home runs, including a crucial blast by Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz against Seattle ace Luis Castillo. Despite the loss, the Mariners bring a reliable 30-22 home record into the afternoon matchup.

Right-hander Brady Singer (4-9, 4.56 ERA) takes the mound looking to give Cincinnati an unexpected road series victory. Singer's season has been a mix of flashes and inconsistencies, making this start critical for containing Seattle's potent lineup.

Right-hander Emerson Hancock (6-4, 3.17 ERA) gets the ball for Seattle. Hancock has been a bright spot in the rotation, boasting a solid ERA and demonstrating strong command, making him an anchor for the Mariners as they aim to bounce back.

The Mariners had multiple scoring opportunities on Tuesday but went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base. Clean-up hitter Josh Naylor has been a steady presence for Seattle, while outfielder Randy Arozarena has also provided a spark.

The Reds rely heavily on their dynamic offense to bail out a struggling bullpen. Standout performers like Sal Stewart and Elly De La Cruz continue to punish mistakes, making Seattle's pitching execution essential on Wednesday afternoon
