KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Mariners? Do you want to build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman.
But “hanging an eight-spot” in an inning as the baseball folks say, can be pretty fun.
Scoring eight runs in a game is difficult and uncommon, but rolling up eight runs in an inning? Well, that shouldn’t be expected. The last time they scored eight or more runs in an inning was Sept. 6, 2016 against the Angels. And yet with what the 2019 Mariners have done to opposing pitchers in the first 11 games, an eight-run inning won’t leave you frozen in disbelief.
