The bullpen will continue until morale improves. Parts of the Mariners really did enough to carry them to at least two wins in Texas, but unfortunately for them, Bryan Shaw and Erik Swanson stood up and shouted “NOT TODAY, DYLAN” in unison. Now the Mariners head to Houston, where the bizarro-world that is the 2020 MLB season means that they are both 1.5 games from prime Kumar position (thank you, Pirates, for winning a game) and 2.5 games from a playoff spot (thank you, very poor play by the AL West).
Series Preview: Mariners (7-13) at Astros (8-10)
