OAKLAND, Calif. — After three days of drama, the Mariners did their best to remove the possibility of a bullpen meltdown for the fourth consecutive game.
Marco Gonzales delivered his best outing in recent weeks to limit the usage of the bullpen while the Mariners’ offense provided plenty of run support in a 9-2 victory over the A’s.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak against the A’s. The Mariners have two chances to win their second three-game series since early April.
Gonzales wasn’t dominant, but he was effective and got better in the later innings.
