First the Seattle Mariners officially closed the book on their playoff hopes, that ended with the Oakland Athletics beating the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
Now the Mariners can close the book on their 2018 road trips, with the continually pesky Texas Rangers handing them a 6-1 loss on Sunday at Glove Life Park.
It was a breezy day for Wade LeBlanc through five scoreless innings until the Rangers took the lead with a four-run sixth inning, one night after the Mariners blanked the Rangers, 13-0.
But Seattle (85-70) had nothing for offense outside of Guillermo Heredia’s RBI double in the third inning.
