The Mariners were so close to showing some actual positive signs on offense last week. The two double-digit run totals on Thursday and Friday got their run differential back into the positive side of the ledger but they still wound up losing four of their six games on their road trip. This series against the Nationals is their last chance to beat up on a weaker ballclub before the All-Star break; they have the Rays, Giants, and Astros lined up after this.
