It’s Friday night, the Seattle Mariners won 5-2 on an explosive first inning off Arizona Diamondbacks sacrificial lamb/4th starter Tommy Henry. For anyone wondering why a club in the thick of the NL West and Wild Card races would need more pitching upgrades, we saw it laid out clearly in this afternoon’s affair. Even a few poor plate appearances and some hard liners right at defenders could not spoil the evening, nor Matt Brash and Cal Raleigh having themselves a little pantomime of what the experience of sliding around playing with a wet baseball is like for the native Arizonans.
Mariners upgrade their final weaponry, tactics, advance past Diamondbacks 5-2 to make deadline buying less of a fantasy
