There is nothing to be ashamed of in a slightly sloppy, somewhat shaky 6-5 victory. Not now, not ever. Not before nor after the Seattle Mariners squandered winnable games against the abysmal Texas Rangers and the moribund Kansas City Royals in the past 3-4 weeks. Not while the Athletics blew an 8-2 and 10-8 lead tonight, not while the Mariners have scraped nigh-inexplicable series wins from Oakland and Houston in the past 10 days. No, tonight’s victory over the burrowing snakes that are the 2021 Arizona Diamondbacks was a win worth every bit of celebration.
Mariners shamelessly snatch 6-5 victory from the jaws of defeat, stylishly dressed snakes
