The second Alex Bregman golfed an infield single during the game’s first at bat, I knew this was about to be stupid. I was not wrong. Marco Gonzales had struggled during his first three starts of August and was looking to bounce back after some extended rest. Allowing a single off a slow roller is not a fun way to return to action.
It felt like the Mariners sleptwalked through the first few innings of the game. After his leadoff single, Bregman came around to score when Tyler White knocked a ball off the center field wall.
