SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Cincinnati Reds aim to build on a series-opening win Tuesday when they face the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Right-hander Chase Burns (11-1) is scheduled to start for the Reds, who enter with a 45-53 record. The Mariners counter with right-hander Logan Gilbert, who is 3-5 with a 3.40 ERA over his last five starts. Seattle sits at 50-50, one game above .500. Cincinnati comes off a 9-6 victory Sunday at Colorado, powered by catcher Tyler Stephenson’s 3-for-4, two-home run, three-RBI performance. Stephenson is batting .352 over his last 10 games and has four homers in that span, making him a key threat in the middle of the Reds order. Right-hander Hunter Greene also delivered a quality start Sunday, allowing three earned runs over six innings with seven strikeouts. Seattle rallied past San Francisco 6-3 on Sunday behind Gilbert’s strong outing: six innings, four hits, three earned runs, 10 strikeouts. Second baseman Cole Young added two hits, including a home run, and two RBIs. The Mariners have won four of their last six and are just outside the wild-card picture. Tuesday’s game is the second of a three-game set. Monday’s series opener was scoreless after nine innings — a rare occurrence that ended in a 0-0 tie, though the outcome is not reflected in the standings. The matchup features contrasting momentum: Cincinnati has won three of its last four, while Seattle has dropped two of three. Betting markets list the Reds as slight road favorites with a run line of -1.5, meaning oddsmakers expect them to win by at least two runs. The over/under is set at 7.5 total runs. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-4 Mariners victory, suggesting a close contest. Both bullpens are well-rested. The Reds haven’t used closer Alexis Díaz since Friday, while Seattle’s Andrés Muñoz recorded a save Sunday with a perfect ninth inning, striking out two. Cincinnati continues its road trip Wednesday in Seattle before heading to St. Louis for a weekend series. The Mariners host the Reds again Wednesday, then travel to Texas for four games against the Rangers. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. PDT.
