What happened: The Mariners are back at T-Mobile Park for a six-game homestand. The slate features a three-day Cal Raleigh POP! collectible giveaway across June 29, June 30 and July 2, alongside Pride Month festivities at the ballpark.

Why it matters: Long homestands are a chance to bank wins on familiar turf and build momentum, and the giveaway ties in with the franchise's broader season-long fan celebrations, including the 50th-season programming Seattle has lined up.

What to watch: Watch how Seattle fares over the six home games and whether the homestand atmosphere translates into results in the standings.
