Mariners Mondays is back on ROOT SPORTS every Monday through Spring Training beginning tonight.
In the first installment of 2018, we look back on two outstanding outings by Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton: a 6–0 win over the Houston Astros on Opening Day at Safeco Field on April 10, and an 8–0 shutout on April 26 at Comerica Park.
In addition to Paxton’s outstanding performance on Opening Day, the Mariners got solid support from the heart of the order with the 2, 3, 4 and 5 hitters going 8 for 14 with three doubles and four RBI.
