That was a rough homestand. After scoring more than seven runs per game over the first fifteen games of the season, the Mariners scored less than three runs per game over their last six games. What’s funny is that they still lead the majors in total runs scored, home runs, and wRC+. That’s how good the Mariners were playing to start the year. It was never going to last the entire year, but it would have been nice if they hadn’t crashed so hard during these last two series.

After facing the two best pitching staffs in the American League, it’ll be nice to see some mediocre pitching again.
