What started as a disappointing trip to Florida ended in disaster in Houston. As encouraging as that first nine-game homestand was, this long road trip was equally discouraging. Getting shutout across two straight games against the Astros was one of those early season nadirs that we’ve become so accustomed to. And the worst part is the Mariners schedule doesn’t get any easier in May. They’ll face the Rays and the Phillies during this homestand and then travel back ot the East Coast to face the Mets, Blue Jays, and Red Sox, and will play 20 games over the next 21 days.
Series Preview: Mariners (12-13) vs. Rays (15-10)
