The offense has been the leading cause of Seattle’s struggles. Decent pitching has given the Seattle offense opportunities to win games, but the bats have been ice cold. The Mariners are 19-35 when they score 3 runs or less, but their six runs on Sunday doubled their next best offensive performance of the 2-5 homestand.
Mike Leake had an all-around solid performance on the mound for the Mariners. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. His ability to keep his pitch count down to let him throw deep into the game, giving Seattle opportunities to pounce on the Blue Jays.
