The Seattle Mariners are coming off of a well-timed victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night, a 4-2 triumph that moved the Mariners up to only three games back of the second American League Wild Card spot. The win occurred in classic 2021 Mariners style: RBIs from Ty France and Kyle Seager to put the team up early, a strong seven innings from starter Tyler Anderson, and a lockdown performance from star closer Paul Sewald to seal it.
Seager was the offensive MVP of the game, driving in three runs on three base hits and bumping up his season RBI total to 99, tying his career high.
