Opening Day has finally arrived.

The Mariners are hosting the Boston Red Sox in their season-opener.

Both teams split last season’s series 3-3.

Luis Castillo will be on the mound for the M’s in the fourth Opening Day start of his career. Castillo is fresh off a fifth-place finish in the AL Cy Young voting.

He’ll be facing Boston’s Brayan Bello, who’s 14-19 with a 4.37 ERA in his last two seasons as a starter in what seems to be a favorable matchup for Seattle.

Catch tonight’s game on KGMI.

Coverage begins at 6:00 with Nelson Cruz delivering the first pitch at 7:10.

 

The Kraken are back tonight as they look to stave off playoff elimination.

Seattle is hosting the Anaheim Ducks just days after beating them to end their eight-game skid.

Jordan Eberle will look to get his 300th career goal.

Kraken, an even 29-29-13, are still 15 points behind the last playoff spot in the West.

They’re on track to be the next team that’s bounced from playoff contention.

Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KBAI.

 

And March Madness continues today as we hit the Sweet 16.

Second-seeded Arizona is facing sixth-seeded Clemson as the last standing representative of the Pac-12 in its final season.

Top-seeds UConn and North Carolina will also look to book their ticket to the Elite 8.

Coverage for today’s games starts at 4:00 on KPUG.
