The good vibes of the series win against the Astros were bug-squashed tonight at T-Mobile Park with a clunker of a loss against the Brewers, 6-0. This one goes squarely in the “50 games you lose” column, but that doesn’t make it any easier to stomach.
The Mariners had a tough assignment in front of them: slowing down the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers, winners of 10 in a row, facing one of the best pitchers in the game in Brandon Woodruff. But the Mariners were throwing George Kirby, and for six innings—okay, five and change—it looked like a potential World Series matchup, two prizefighters battling to keep the other team off the board.
