After salvaging a series split in Los Angeles with a win on Sunday, the Mariners wrapped up a 14-game stretch against AL West opponents going 9-5. Overshadowing this positive spell is the demotion of Jarred Kelenic. Making the jump from Triple-A to the majors is incredibly difficult and the initial struggles he faced eventually compounded into some pretty poor at-bats during the Angels series. He’ll get a chance to hit the reset button a la Taylor Trammell. In more exciting news, Shed Long Jr. was activated from the Injured List and should get a chance to get his major league career back on track after a disappointing season last year.
Series Preview: Mariners (30-31) at Tigers (24-35)
