If you took today’s early-start Mariners game off, it’s understandable. It’s been a brutal road trip east of the Mississippi so far for the Mariners, losing five straight to two teams not in playoff contention in the Tigers and Pirates, as the Mariners have struggled to score runs, as well as leaking runs out of their bullpen and making some uncharacteristic errors in the field. But if you did watch today, you were gifted a rare treat as the Mariners found their offense in a big way, defeating the Pirates 10-3 thanks to a strong effort from George Kirby and a solid offensive performance from the lineup.
