The Mariners got a solid start from Felix Hernandez, but the lack of offense allowed a first-inning home run stand up in a 2-1 win.
A day after banging out 17 hits and scoring 10 runs, the Mariners, who managed just two hits, were shutdown on Sunday afternoon in a 2-1 loss to the Oakland A’s.
What happened to that explosive offensive in less than 24 hours?
Well, Sean Manaea happened.
The big lefty shut down Seattle hitters in a manner that hasn’t happened often in the first 13 game. Manaea tossed seven innings, allowing just one run on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
