Glass half….
The Mariners needed 12 innings to beat the Rangers on Friday in a game they should have wrapped up much earlier than they did. Miles Mastrobuoni made a gave-saving, over-the-shoulder, diving catch in the 11th inning to set himself up for a game winning single in the 12th. The lineup was equal parts great, unlucky, and nonexistent; they offset their dominance over Rangers pitching with five inning-ending double plays. Logan Gilbert looked excellent at times but was ultimately unable (or not allowed) to get through six innings; the bullpen extended the game behind him in good ways and bad.
