For the first eight innings, only Ty Buttrey was immune. To the stir of lifelessness that was present at Safeco Field (who cares if they don’t call it that anymore), the baseball players going through the motions. The offenses, waving around their bats as if they were heavy sticks instead of tools used to do damage. Buttrey punched out three hitters on eleven pitches. It’s amazing what he can do on rest.
The Mariners first scratched out two runs off Griffin Canning. There were the usual suspects. Dee Gordon sacrifice fly. Omar Narvaez RBI single.
