It’s July 1st, and the Mariners just completed a three-game sweep of the Royals to push them 23 games above .500 and extending their winning streak to seven. And arguably the most exceptional part of this series (save for Marco Gonzales’s first complete game and the glory that was Nelson Cruz sleeveless), was that the series was completed with less than nine total hours of game time (shout out Matt/erstwhile Cascadian Man for this tidbit).
In exactly two hours, the Ms quietly, benignly, disposed of Kansas City in precisely the way that fans demand “good” teams triumph over “bad” teams.
