The Mariners won today by a score of 8-5, avoiding a sweep at the hands of the Angels, and while that’s not the kind of score that usually indicates the pitching was the star of the show, the pitching is really what I’d rather talk about. It feels weird to complain about a game where the Mariners scored eight runs, a little Dudley Dursley complaining his Knickerbocker Glory doesn’t have enough ice cream on top (I just finished listening to the podcast Paxton was on talking about Harry Potter, if you can’t tell). The score of this game makes it seem closer than it was, but far, far from what it could have been.
