This past week cemented the direction that this team is headed. The series against Baltimore was challenging, with rain delays forcing two doubleheaders to ensure completion of the 4-game stint. While it would have been understandable for the Mariners to tie the series 2-2, or perhaps even lose 1-3, they walked away with a 3-1 series victory.
Their next opponent: the Houston Astros. Historically, the Astros always seem to find a way to win when they come to town.
