Most nights, with this pitching staff, six runs would be more than enough to win the game. Prior to tonight’s game, the Mariners had only lost two games this season where they scored six runs, both under deeply cursed circumstances: one was the Cubs game (that happily became the de facto birthplace of Bryce Miller’s MLB career), and the other was the extra-innings Sunday day game against the Guardians that the Mariners lost on a Josh Bell walkoff. And now we can add City Connects Part 2 to that illustrious list.
This game was weird from the jump.
