With all the issues the offense is having, it’s nice to see the pitching staff provide some support. During the past seven games, the Mariners have allowed just 2.4 runs per game and have scored just a run more than that per game. Indeed, six of the past seven games have been decided by a one run margin. In years past, an offensively challenged stretch like this would have likely resulted in a pretty significant swoon in the standings. Instead, the Mariners have gone 5-2 during the past week (and 6-3 since Canó was suspended). They’re grinding out wins by any means possible.
