Mariners manager Scott Servais had put Saturday night’s ugly loss to Texas Rangers out of his mind by the time he came to the ballpark Sunday morning, marking it off as just one of those games.
But a forgettable night was followed by an equally forgettable day as it was more of same: little offense, ineffective pitching, four errors and six unearned runs.
It added to a 14-1 loss, coming less than 24 hours after a 15-1 loss.
All the good feelings created from the victories in the first two games of the series (a 14-2 win and a 5-4 victory in 11 innings) have evaporated and the Mariners will need to regroup quickly with the Chicago Cubs coming to town Tuesday.
