Mariners fall to Rockies 5-1 thanks to mediocre pitching and even worse hitting

We have just over a week until the All-Star Break, but as far as the Seattle Mariners are concerned, those five days off can’t come soon enough.

To wit: in just the last few days, the M’s have seen three regulars go down with injuries.

Of course, these are complemented by the glaring absence of All-Star second baseman Robinson Canó, who has healed from his broken hand but will still be out for the next month-plus due to his 80-game suspension.

Earlier today, Canó made his first appearance in front of the media since his suspension was announced, and his answers were exactly what you would want to hear.
