The Seattle Mariners have scored 23 runs in their past two games, which is one run short of their cumulative run total for the previous seven games combined. Is this new offensive approach here to stay? Who knows. But here’s what we do know: the Mariners just handed the Baltimore Orioles, second place in the AL East with a .608 winning percentage, their worst loss of the season, romping over Kyle Gibson and the Birds 13-1. Everyone grab your NES Zappers and fire them emptily into the sky in celebration.
For the second day in a row, the Mariners executed their hitting plan effectively against a starting pitcher.
