The Mariners briefly lost the major league lead in home runs over the weekend. The Twins launched an astounding 11 home runs while scoring 40 (!) runs in four games. Of course, the Mariners hit seven home runs of their own and retook the lead on Sunday. The Twins’ offensive onslaught was just another instance of the Mariners complete lack of run prevention. They’ve allowed almost seven runs per game in May and have been blown out by more than five runs eight time in their last 20 games. We’re watching some ugly, ugly baseball right now and there’s no respite in sight.
Series Preview: Mariners (23-26) at Rangers (21-23)
