It started off well and good.
No rain, James Paxton on the mound less than a week removed from the sixth no-hitter in Mariners history.
Then a Kyle Seager home run, plenty of runners on the bases and Paxton had retired each of the first six batter he faced and gone 18 consecutive innings without allowing run dating to two starts ago.
All good.
