After a frustrating loss on Saturday, which saw the Mariners lose not only the game, but also Nelson Cruz, the Mariners bounced back on Sunday. The win featured a little bit of everything for Seattle.
The Mariners used some “clutch” hitting, solid defense, grinding AB’s, power pitching, and the long ball to grind out their first series win of 2018.
With the score tied at 2-2 in the 7th inning, the Mariners would use the long ball to grab the lead, and never surrender it. Dee Gordon, yes that Dee Gordon, started the party with a towering, solo home run off Dan Otero to give the Mariners a 3-2 lead.
