Scott Servais paid up on his dues. He had a “swag” Edwin Diaz-inspired haircut before the Seattle Mariners series opener Tuesday night in San Diego against the Padres.
It was all for a bet he made in spring training with Diaz – 50 saves for a shave. And Diaz not only has 50 saves – which is the most in a single season in Mariners history – but the 24-year-old closer did this with a week left until September.
“Oh, my phone is just blowing up,” Servais told reporters Tuesday, with waves shaved into the side of the 51-year-old’s head.
