Who amongst us haven’t woken up on a Sunday morning still hazy with the memories of weekend times well spent, looked around at the work yet to be accomplished, and thought of all the corners that need cutting to accomplish said work. With the Yankees series looming starting tomorrow, the Mariners hastily finished up their series with Baltimore by copy-pasting work they did earlier in the series, mashing it together and calling it good enough for a not-sweep.
Rehashing Friday’s game, the Mariners got off to a poor start in this one when again one of their young starters failed to adjust to the ultra-aggressive Orioles lineup, resulting in yet another leadoff home run for Gunnar Henderson, who welcomed George Kirby’s second pitch of the game, a slider right into his lefty loop zone.
