The Mariners are a peculiar team. Even on days like today where they look dominate in most facets of the game, they find a way to make you nervous.
So, when the M’s looked like they would potentially blow their second game in a row, they made sure they wouldn’t buckle under the pressure this time. After being up 7-0 in the top of the third, the Mariners started experiencing an uneasy déjà vu.
Over the next four innings the M’s would watch their lead dwindle to a mere three runs. To make matters worse, the Astros had two runners on in the sixth, with the tying run at the plate and no one out.
