Remember last year when the Mariners had like fifty ties during the Cactus League? And then we were treated to a year of Chaos Ball? Well Chaos Ball is back, baby. Kind of. Sort of. Look, it wasn’t a loss, that’s what matters.
It looked like today might be the day for the bats to wake up after the Mariners scored two runs quickly in the first off Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks. Abraham Toro, after making a nice running catch in the sun to end the first inning, led off with a single. Julio followed that up with a double to score Toro, and Eugenio Súarez also doubled to score Julio.
