The best you could say about Saturday night was that it was a beautiful pregame ceremony for Edgar Martinez.
For the second straight night, the Mariners blew a late-game lead. For the third straight night, the Mariners lost. And for what feels like a common trend this season, the Mariners dropped to .500.
The Mariners’ 6-3 loss Saturday to the Angels was disappointing for what it could have been — a capper to Martinez’s wonderful jersey-retirement ceremony in front of a sellout crowd — and for what it was: The Mariners led 3-1 at the start of the seventh inning.
