Tim Beckham’s grand slam highlights win for Mariners against team with baseball’s worst record
Far too often this season, a Mariners’ miscue in the field — and there have been so, so many — has led to unnecessary runs and more than a few losses. Their league-leading 99 errors have led to 76 unearned runs, both tops in all of Major League Baseball.
But on a night where they were facing the Detroit Tigers, a team that somehow has a significantly worse record than them, which isn’t easy to do, the Mariners took advantage of an opponent’s defensive miscue to break open a tie game and roll to an easy 10-2 victory.
The Mariners have won three of their past four games and improved to 43-63, while the Tigers fell to 30-68, which is the worst record in baseball.
