So, the Mariners have been outscored 46-7 during their current four-game losing streak, which included back-to-back games allowing 14 runs or more. That is objectively disgusting, subjectively kind of funny, and somehow not unprecedented. In August 2015 the M’s lost consecutive games in Boston by the middle school lacrosse scores of 15-1 and 22-10. In May of 1994 the White Sox tagged Seattle for 30 runs in two games, in which Julio Franco went 5-for-6 with 6 RBI.
Seattle desperately needs to avoid a similar fate today, as Carlos Carrasco awaits them on Saturday.
