The good news is the Mariners only have three more games against the Astros this year (until October). The bad news is they lost this one.
I know I usually end these recaps with a “words of wisdom” section about how “baseball seasons are long, individual losses don’t matter that much.” But today I want to front load that.
The Mariners, bless their hearts, are sitting in the second of three Wild Card slots, and the two teams behind the lost tonight as well. Would a win have been good to build up a gap?
