There is just one fact that fully explains how today’s game went for the Mariners: Felix Hernandez and Jesus Sucre both pitched in the same game. That’s not a typo and it wasn’t the result of a massive outburst by the Mariners offense. No, this was very real and was the product of Felix Hernandez’s worst start of his eleven year career.
At least the Astros got it over with quickly. Felix recorded the only out of his brief appearance in this game on a strikeout of Carlos Correa, the sixth batter he had faced.
