The Mariners limp into Houston coming off an agonizing loss in Texas on Sunday. While it’s hard to sweep any team, the Mariners had that game in their grasp, hitting the magic number of five runs scored, only for the pitching staff to let the lead evaporate, letting the team down after they’ve been so solid all season. Now things get even tougher with the Astros, who will likely be celebrating their umpteenth AL West victory right in the Mariners faces’—which honestly feels like a dose of justice to have the Mariners’ noses rubbed in what could have been, and what they let slip away.
