Oh, it rained all right.
By the seventh inning it was the actual endless raindrops that had the Seattle Mariners’ game against the Rangers in doubt and eventually created a lake in Globe Life Park’s outfield. But before that Texas’s offense had already rained plenty of baseballs on the Mariners.
Seattle took an 8-3 loss on Friday at Glove Life Park after another short outing from right-hander Erasmo Ramirez and a five-RBI night for former Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre before the game was called because of rain and flash flooding in the area after a 1 hour, 9 minute delay that began with Kyle Seager at the plate in the top of the seventh inning.
