Happy eclipse day to you and yours. Here in Seattle we did not get to see any of the eclipse, because other cities get other fun things. That sort of feels like a heavyhanded analogy for how the Mariners are playing baseball right now, but hey, if the eclipse glasses fit, wear them (please always wear eye protection during eclipses of any sort).
For those hoping this would be a Luis Castillo bounceback game, those hopes were quickly dashed. Castillo opened with a strong 1-2-3 inning, with every out going to Josh Rojas at third base, but did not have an easy inning after that, making it through just five innings on 101 pitches and giving up four runs.
