Up until last night, when Logan Gilbert was removed in the third inning of the game with scary-sounding elbow soreness, the last truly disastrous game at T-Mobile Park was the shellacking at the hands of the Tigers where Emerson Hancock gave up six runs in the first inning.
Tonight, with the final day of the NFL Draft drawing attention away, the Mariners got to be on the other side of that six-run first inning, although without the pitching staff allowing the opposing team to climb back into it, as the Tigers did the Mariners. Luis Castillo throttled down the Marlins over six innings, and the bullpen (as it did not in the other most disastrous game at T-Mobile Park yet this season, a sour 7-0 loss to the A’s also started by Castillo) held the line down the stretch.
