Baseball, and the Seattle Mariners specifically, will always find new ways to break your heart, and tonight’s game was no different, as the Mariners continued their losing skid despite a promising beginning, losing both the game and possession of first place in the AL West.
The Mariners got on the board in this one quickly, using the old bloop-bloop-blast: J.P. Crawford put a nice inside-out swing on a cutter, punching it through the six-hole, and then Jorge Polanco lollipopped a slider into right field, which is certainly good to see after the stretch of tough road he’s been on.
