Tuesday’s 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star game in Cincinnati should give Seattle Mariners fans a chance to forget about a disappointing first half of the season and simply enjoy the game’s brightest stars — at least for an evening.
After entering the 2015 campaign with so much hope, the M’s limped into the All-Star break with a 41-48 record, which places them in fourth place in the American League West, 7.5 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Angels.
Mariners fans undoubtedly hope the club uses the break as a chance to regroup and reevaluate in an attempt to make a second-half surge toward postseason contention.
