Remember a month ago when we were all collectively in the Pit of Despair? On the wrong end of two no-hitters in the span of two weeks, a team batting average dipping below .200, and injuries left and right? Around this time in May, the Mariners were mired in a six-game losing streak, swept by the hands of the Tigers and Padres. At 21-26 with seemingly no help on the way, it was easy to take a glance and see a team that was dead in the water, trapped underneath a table.
This last month has shown us, though, that they’ve picked themselves up.
