AquaSox Wrap Tri-City Road Trip This Weekend, Then Bryce Miller Comes to Funko Field Wednesday

Q: Where are the Everett AquaSox playing this weekend, May 2-3, 2026?
The AquaSox are wrapping up a six-game road series at the Tri-City Dust Devils at Gesa Stadium in Pasco, WA. Games 5 and 6 are Saturday, May 2 (7:05 PM) and Sunday, May 3 (typically a 1:05 or 1:35 PM start). The Frogs went into Friday’s game leading the series 2-1 after winning the opener 8-3 (Tuesday) and the Wednesday game 10-7, then dropping Thursday 6-4. Friday’s result was in progress when this story published; check MiLB.com/everett for the final.

Frogs Close Out the Pasco Road Trip — and What’s Coming Home Next Week

The AquaSox have already given Pasco their money’s worth this week. Three games in, the Frogs had won two — and both of those wins told you something about what this 2026 roster can actually be when the bats and the bullpen show up the same night.

Tuesday’s series opener at Gesa Stadium was the Luis Suisbel show: the AquaSox infielder cracked a three-run homer (his first of the year) and added a two-run single for a career-high-tying five RBIs in the 8-3 win. Logan Dollard went four innings and gave up just one earned run. The bullpen got it home. Easy night.

Wednesday, it didn’t look easy at all. Tri-City clawed back to a 7-7 tie heading into the eighth, and the Frogs had to find another gear. Felnin Celesten — the Mariners’ top middle-infield prospect and recent NWL Player of the Week (.471 over the Spokane series) — delivered the go-ahead RBI in the eighth. Brock Ellis ended any doubt with a two-run homer in the ninth, and the Frogs walked off Pasco 10-7. Two-game lead in the series.

Thursday belonged to Tri-City. Brandon Eike got a hold of one — his fifth homer of 2026, a fourth-inning two-run shot that pushed his RBI total to 12 — but the Dust Devils’ Capri Ortiz answered with a bases-clearing triple and another RBI single, and the Frogs lost 6-4. Series lead trimmed to 2-1.

Friday Night: Game in Progress at Run Time

Friday’s Game 4 was first-pitched at 7:05 PT at Gesa Stadium. As of this story going to publish, the game was still being played — so we’re not going to fabricate a final score, an inning-by-inning, or a winning pitcher. (You’ll get the recap in tomorrow night’s run when we have a verified box score from MiLB.com.)

What we do know: the Frogs entered the night in good shape — winning two of the first three on the road, with their two best prospect bats (Celesten and Eike) heating up at the right time, and a starting rotation that has handled the Dust Devils’ lineup pretty well so far.

What to Watch the Rest of the Series

Saturday, May 2 at 7:05 PT: Game 5 of the series at Gesa Stadium. The Frogs need either a Saturday or Sunday win to clinch the series; two more wins gets them home with their first road sweep of 2026.

Sunday, May 3: Series finale, with a daytime first pitch (Tri-City’s standard Sunday Funday window is the 1:05 PT range — confirm at MiLB.com/everett).

For Mariners-prospect watchers, the names to track over the weekend are familiar by now:

Felnin Celesten — coming off NWL Player of the Week. Top middle-infield prospect in the system. Riding a hot stretch.
Brandon Eike — five home runs already, 12 RBIs, looks comfortable in the box.
Luis Suisbel — went off in the opener. Power upside is real.
Brock Ellis — the ninth-inning two-run homer Wednesday is the kind of swing that tells you about a player’s swing decisions in big spots.
Logan Dollard — Tuesday’s start was the kind of outing you build a rotation slot around.

Then Comes Home — and the Big One

Once the Tri-City series ends Sunday, the Frogs come back to Funko Field for a six-game homestand against the Hillsboro Hops (D-backs affiliate). And the headliner of that homestand — the night that’s going to draw the curiosity crowd as much as the baseball crowd — is Wednesday, May 6 at 7:05 PM, when Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller makes his second AquaSox rehab start of the spring.

Miller’s first AquaSox outing on April 24 was the kind of rehab start that ends rehab assignments: 3 IP, 47 pitches, 6 strikeouts, no runs, fastball touching 98+ mph. Mariners GM Jerry Hollander confirmed Wednesday is likely Miller’s last stop before he heads back up to T-Mobile Park. If you want to see a big-league arm at Funko this year, this is the night.

(That game also closes a multi-step rehab — 1.2 IP at Tacoma April 18 → 3 IP at Everett April 24 → another Tacoma stop earlier this week → Wednesday at Funko. The Mariners are stretching him to give him a real start’s worth of pitches before activation.)

The Bigger Picture

The AquaSox went into this Tri-City series at 8-8 and have already made it a winning trip with three games to play. That matters for an obvious reason — early wins build momentum, and prospects build confidence on the road — but also for a less obvious one: the High-A Northwest League season runs through mid-September, and a 17-or-18-game start with a winning record means none of these prospects are pressing yet. That’s the version of an AquaSox team you want feeding into Bryce Miller’s rehab night next Wednesday — loose, confident, and pretty fun to watch.
