It looked like the Mariners would pick up where they left off tonight. But oh boy, were we wrong to think that.
Before Dave Sims could finish his opening sentence, Dee Gordon was already on first base with a lead-off single. Mitch Haniger walked, but the M’s were unable to put someone across home in the first inning versus Johnny Cueto.
Gordon and Haniger were able to recreate their first inning success again in the third, once again sitting on third and first base respectively. Kyle Seager, who has struggled early on, was fruitless in his attempt to get the M’s on the board.
