Seattle Mariners lose in walkoff fashion as Tampa Bay Rays work harder, faster, better, stronger

Many would say an ideal strategy in any endeavor is to work smarter, not harder. In September baseball, a culmination of a grind of one hundred and sixty-two games with all the looming implications of the playoffs around the corner, teams are often not afforded the luxury of choice. The Seattle Mariners played game three of a four game set against a Tampa Bay Rays team with a better record and ahead of them in the wild card standings, and despite the Mariners best efforts the Rays were ultimately smarter and harder working, Seattle losing with a score of 5-7.
