Let’s be real: even though a lot of us were happy to avoid a sweep in Atlanta, yesterday was a bummer. Wasting a strong George Kirby start and dingers from Jarred Kelenic and José Caballero - the first of the latter’s career - is always gonna hurt. Yes, the M’s were coming back home to face the hapless Oakland A’s, and yeah, despite a shaky May, Luis Castillo still inspires confidence, but on a chilly late May game where it barely cracked 60 degrees all day in Seattle? Forgive me if my worries about the marine layer didn’t creep in as first pitch rolled around.
Mariners blast space heater into chilly May night, romp over A’s 11-2
