KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: Three straight playoff appearances have put the franchise's two decades in the cellar firmly in the rearview mirror. The fiscal strains of success, however, are starting to show. The Pirates kept Mark Melancon at $10 million but balked at paying the homegrown Walker the same kind of money and wanted no part of the $8 million Alvarez might have fetched in arbitration. The front office has been raided, too, with several key contributors who set the cornerstone for the franchise's renaissance taking higher-profile jobs elsewhere. Their ability to keep up with St. Louis and the Chicago Cubs will likely hinge on their talented outfield and if the bullpen can once again shorten games to six innings.
SEATTLE: The Mariners own the longest playoff drought in baseball, with their last appearance coming in 2001, and there's plenty of reason to doubt it will end in 2016. Seattle should be better than a year ago, though. Cano is healthy, the starting rotation could be a plus and on defense the Mariners are constructed to succeed in their home ballpark. But the offseason makeover relied heavily on players coming off poor 2015 seasons, and the question remains whether those players are on a downward spiral or if they can rebound to be as productive as in the past. If the latter is the case, then maybe Seattle will find itself in contention.
PREVIEW
Pirates-Mariners preview
 

SEATTLE -- Misery loves company.

Two teams with dying pennant aspirations will meet at Safeco Field under similar circumstances Tuesday night. The Pittsburgh Pirates and Seattle Mariners have fallen from baseball's elite and are just trying to stay afloat in the playoff race.

The Pirates (37-40) were trying to keep pace with the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs, baseball's hottest team, through April and May and were doing a decent job of weathering the storm. The Pirates were in position to make a run at the end of May, but they've since fallen three games under .500. Monday afternoon's loss to the Dodgers left Pittsburgh with an 8-18 record in June.

The Pirates featured one of the best offenses in baseball through the opening month of the season but have since fallen on hard times. Yet, they feel like they're not that far removed from the team that opened the season with four consecutive wins and closed out the month of April with a six-game winning streak.

"I don't know if we're getting the big hit like we were in April or May," shortstop Jordy Mercer told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette over the weekend, "but we're still putting good at-bats up."

Situational hitting has been a big part of the Pirates' struggles, but the starting rotation has probably been the most glaring issue. Pittsburgh ranks second-to-the-last in the NL in both ERA (5.57) and opponent's batting average (.285) during games played in June.

Seattle (38-38) has its own set of pitching problems heading into the series. The starting rotation went through its most recent cycle without three of the five starters, while ace Felix Hernandez continues to be sidelined by a leg injury. The over-taxed bullpen subsequently has fallen apart, leading a spate of roster moves over the weekend to bring in fresh arms.

The good news for both teams is that help could be on the way. Seattle starter Wade Miley is expected back from the disabled list to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates, while Taijuan Walker (sore foot) might not be far behind. Walker could be on the mound as soon as Thursday night, for the start of the Baltimore series. And manager Scott Servais sounded as encouraged about Hernandez's return as he had in a while.

"He's starting to map out his plan (to return)," Servais told reporters before Saturday night's win. "That's always a good thing."

The Pirates got an encouraging sign over the weekend as well, with staff ace Gerrit Cole throwing from the mound for the first time in two weeks. Cole is recovering from a strained triceps, although there is still no hard timetable for his return.

"He's a competitor," pitching coach Ray Searage told The Post-Gazette. "He's itching to get back out there."

Left-hander Jonathan Niese, who is 0-3 over his past three starts, is scheduled to take the mound for the Pirates. The Mariners will go with struggling veteran Hisashi Iwakuma, who has served up three home runs in three of his past five starts.

The Mariners have gone 8-17 in June after spending most of May atop the American League West standings. Texas continues to lead the AL West and the Houston Astros have gotten hot to move ahead of Seattle in the standings.
