Taijuan Walker pitched like an ace for his sixth start in a row and the Mariners overcame some sketchy umpiring to beat the Angels.
Man. I don't know if it's because the Mariners were playing the (gross, terrible, despicable) Angels or if sitting nine games back at the end of June has simply instilled a frenzied sense of urgency or what, but that game felt super intense. There were so many opportunities for things to go horribly wrong... but then everything worked out! And the Mariners won. And the Angels lost. And, just for a moment, everything was right with the baseball world.
