The Mariners have gone 34-17 since Robinson Canó’s suspension. That excellent record has hidden an offense that’s struggled to score runs consistently. Sure, they’re scoring runs when they absolutely need them, but overall, the Mariners have scored just 4.1 runs per game without Canó—they were scoring 4.6 per game with him in the lineup. Those struggles were exposed a bit in their series against the Rockies. They left nineteen men on base during the series and couldn’t come up with the big hits they needed until Sunday’s game. With just a week until the All-Star break, maybe a series in Colorado will give them a boost before the second half of the season starts.
