Mariners suffer “perfect” loss, 8-4

In rebuilding years, there’s often discourse about a “chill” or “perfect” loss. A loss where even if the final score indicates a snoozer, there’s still enough from the individual performances that you can come away optimistic, especially if it’s a starting pitcher or young position player that turned in a good night. After all, you didn’t expect these Mariners to challenge for a playoff spot, did you? Are you not entertained by them falling to #3 in the Kumar Rocker sweepstakes?

Well, I’m not. Sorry. Losing sucks.

It’s not like Yusei Kikuchi wasn’t decent, despite his homely final line.
