August was the month that the Mariners won in extras on a walk-off balk, in a game which awarded Adam Warren the win, and which was sandwiched by two blowout losses. That game was a highlight of the last 30 days.
There’s still technically a month of baseball left to play, but the way the Mariners played in August they all but guaranteed it would be their last month of truly meaningful baseball. They went 12-16, a record made even mildly salvageable by the fact they somehow swept the Houston Astros in four games at Minute Maid Park.
