BALTIMORE -- Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon will be the first to tell you that his team has done everything it could do to get in its own way through its first 40 games of the season.
Third baseman Kyle Seager's ejection in the fifth inning of the Mariners' 5-4 loss Thursday afternoon at Camden Yards was the latest stumble, helping cripple an offense that had plenty of chances to come back, but was ultimately unable to produce in several key moments.
With the Mariners trailing by a run in the fifth, Seager was at the plate with one out and Robinson Cano on first.
