The Seattle Mariners come into Thursday atop the American League West standings and sitting 20 games over .500 at 44-24, which is the third best record in the AL.
So how did they get her? Mariners beat writer Ryan Divish and venerable columnist Larry Stone analyze the reasons for the team’s surprising success this season and the run of victories since Robinson Cano was suspended for 80 games. They also break down the all-star chances of Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger and whether they deserve to be headed to D.C. in mid-July.
Also on the podcast is audio of Mariners manager Scott Servais talking to the media following Wednesday’s walk-off win.
