After a supremely satisfying (and necessary) sweep against the White Sox, the Mariners unfortunately fared less favorably against the crimson counterparts. A handful of injuries (some hopefully only minor) didn’t help the vibes and Seattle limps back home for a three game series against the excellent but catastrophically slumping Phillies.
