As discouraging as the first four games of this homestand may seem to some, Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais sees no reason for panic.

“There will be some great stretches, and there will be some that we struggle a little bit,” Servais said. “That’s just part of it. I’m not at all discouraged.”

Through the first two weeks of the 2019 season, the Mariners rocketed to the best start in club history, and the best record in the majors at 13-2.
