The Mariners just completed a 6-3 road trip, won their fifth consecutive series, and thanks to a late-inning comeback in Sacramento, enter this weekend tied for first in the AL West. The vibes, as they say, are good. This stretch of great play has been marked by some pretty impressive offensive output — Seattle has scored 5.4 runs per game during its last 15 games. Now, the M’s will return home for an odd five-game homestand beginning with a set against the Marlins.
