The Mariners won a series! Their series win against the Angels over the weekend was the first series the Mariners have won since sweeping a two-game set back on May 13-14 against Oakland. It was the first series of three games or more that they’ve won since April 18-21, also against the Angels. There will be those few who want to see the Mariners tank as hard as possible in this lost season, but winning a few games here and there isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If only to make watching this team less of a excercise in nihilism and to provide some fun and excitement during this summer.
