This was a game indicative of what the Mariners have become as of late — and what they could still be.
That’s a lot to put on one game, especially in early June, especially for a team still under .500. But that’s the way it felt on Tuesday, when the Mariners beat the Minnesota Twins 12-3 to win their fourth straight game in a blowout.
Look at all that has happened:
• On May 27, the Mariners lost to the Red Sox and fell to a season-worst eight games below .500. Since then, they have won eight of their last nine games.
