Lloyd McClendon to miss Detroit series

The Mariner manager suffered a family tragedy with the death of his sister.Sad news today on the holiday weekend:

McClendon won't manage the team for the three games vs the Tigers. His sister, Angela, passed away. And he will leave for her funeral.

— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) July 5, 2015 Bench manager Trent Jewett will manage the team in McClendon's absence.

We don't know the details of how and how suddenly Angela passed away and, frankly, I don't intend to go prying for them. If those come out later we'll amend this post at that time. This is obviously something much bigger than the team's disappointing first half.

This is the second family death in the Mariner organization in the past 2…
