The Mariners are approaching the finale of their 2021 MLB Schedule. With two series left against the Oakland Athletics and two against the Los Angeles Angels, they need to win nearly all of their games to have a shot at making the Wild Card race close come to the end of the season. They called upon Tyler Anderson, and he answered resoundingly.
After 25 straight starts of 5 or more innings, Anderson had failed to reach that mark in his previous two starts for the Mariners. He quickly assuaged any worries of a third consecutive short start, making quick work of the Athletics all night.
