With the Mariners opting to have Bryce Miller pitch in a simulated game at the team complex in Peoria instead of facing a division rival, it meant manager Scott Servais would roll out several relievers to cover the nine innings. Thanks to a four-run top of the first inning, highlighted by Dom Canzone's two-run homer off Rangers starter Adrian Sampson, Tyson Miller had a nice little cushion before even throwing a pitch.
