The Seattle Mariners starting rotation was the team's most sure thing when spring training began. The group featured three All-Stars and two more pitchers heading into their third respective seasons in the majors.

Logan Gilbert accomplished what he hoped after being named opening day starter. And in Seattle's other game, Luis Castillo worked into the fifth inning.

Opening Day in Seattle belongs to Logan Gilbert. The reigning All-Star and standout starter has emerged from one of the league’s premier rotations, earning his first Opening Day nod when the Mariners host the Athletics at T-Mobile Park on March 27.
