Cleveland Guardians vs. Seattle Mariners

The Cleveland Guardians host the Seattle Mariners at Progressive Field in an American League matchup between two clubs on opposite coasts of the country's baseball map. The Guardians, coming off a 2025 season that saw them overturn a 15.5-game deficit to capture the AL Central title, play in a downtown ballpark that has been a fixture of Cleveland's Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex since 1994. The Mariners, based in the Pacific Northwest, bring a roster built around pitching depth and one of the more devoted regional fan bases in the American League West. The early-season date gives Cleveland fans a rare look at a West Coast opponent that doesn't often make the trip to Ohio, set inside one of MLB's original retro-style ballparks.
