It’s a common refrain, and one that can understandably fall by the wayside in an honest-to-God playoff race, but a short memory is key in this sport. The Mariners got just one hit - and even that was debatable - against the worst team in the AL last night, dropping four of their last five? Who cares! Luis Castillo continued his baffling struggles against these A’s? Whatever, they’re not in the playoffs! Last night sucked, but with James Kaprielian on the mound for Oakland, and Robbie Ray coming into tonight on the verge of 200 strikeouts, it was easy to see how the bad vibes could be flushed away.
Mariners run it back, trip out of gate, fall 2-1
