Fresh on the heels of a commanding win at home on the Fourth of July, the Mariners followed that up with a less-commanding win that was still a win, edging out the Blue Jays and their legions of fans packed into T-Mobile Park 2-1. The Mariners didn’t score outside of in one inning, but they also never let Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman get comfortable, putting traffic on the bases constantly and ensuring the thousands of Blue Jays fans in attendance couldn’t take control of the momentum in the ballpark—which was backed up on the other end by Mariners starter Luis Castillo, who was excellent tonight.
