The Seattle Mariners lost on Wednesday, which was bad enough given that the three teams in their immediate vicinity in the American League playoff race all won. And something about Matt Brash being the one to take the L made it feel even worse.
The Mariners had just taken a 4-3 lead on the Kansas City Royals following J.P. Crawford's go-ahead homer in the top half of the eighth, which set Brash up to do what he does best: put up a clean inning to position Andrés Muñoz to get the save.
Instead, the 27-year-old righty got his butt handed to him in an eventual 7-5 loss that snapped the Mariners' 10-game win streak.
