For the second consecutive game, the Seattle Mariners served up double-digit runs to Texas. And again, for the second consecutive game, their offense couldn’t manage more than one.
In line for a possible four-game series sweep earlier in the weekend, the Mariners instead split with their American League West rivals, losing the final two games by a combined 27 runs. Sunday’s 14-1 loss at T-Mobile Park was just as lopsided as Saturday’s forgettable 15-1 blowout, and neither were easy to swallow.
Seattle (18-13) has now lost five of its past seven with a recently surging Chicago Cubs team coming to town for a short stay later this week.
