Mariners hate Mondays, lose to Astros

It’s early days yet. Sure, it’s fun to argue back and forth that “Mitch” Haniger is going to have an All-Star season, or that Evan White is toast, or that Chris Flexen may be the sneaky stalwart of this rotation, but we’re not even a month into real baseball.

To contextualize just how young this season still is, consider this: The Mariners have played just three games on a Monday. They lost in a shutout to the White Sox 6-0, had a planned game in Baltimore postponed due to weather, miraculously beat the Dodgers 4-3 (sources say this was just last week, but this reporter suspects otherwise) and have now lost to the Astros 5-2.
