ARLINGTON, Texas — When it’s right, the Mariners offense can be similar to the massive deluge that delayed Saturday night’s game at Globe Life Park — you know it’s coming, you know it could be overwhelming and there isn’t much you can do but wait until it works itself out.
On a night when they got a suboptimal outing from their best starting pitcher and didn’t look particularly crisp in the field behind him or the rest of their pitchers, the Mariners turned to their offense and just bashed their way to victory.
Seattle scored five runs in the seventh inning, turning a two-run deficit into a three-run lead and pulling away for a 9-7 victory over the Rangers.
