Notable
The Mariners squandered a solid outing by Rob Whalen and five-run lead going into the eighth inning in an 8-7 loss to the Rockies. Seattle also had Nelson Cruz (strained quad) and Andrew Romine (shoulder injury) leave the game.
The Rockies scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth off of reliever Art Warren, who didn’t get much help from his defense to cut the Mariners lead to 7-6.
Dan Altavilla, who had been dominant all spring, gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs, Colorado’s Derrik Gibson dropped a linedrive just in front of Chuck Taylor in left field.
