There aren’t many nights in Mariners fandom constructed of such unbridled positivity as this evening’s compounded events. To list a few...
- The Seattle Mariners defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 in a comfortable victory that rarely threatened to be as scary as its one-run deficit suggests.
- The Boston Red Sox lost 4-3 to their bleached counterparts, with the ChiSox staving off a late rally.
- The New York Yankees didn’t so much get their teeth kicked in as they curbstomped themselves in game one of a Subway Series with the Mets, losing 10-3 to their NL rivals.
