Going into today’s game the Seattle Mariners had a rough April, however you look at it. An 11-16 record, including going 3-9 in one run games. Injuries and bad luck were contributing factors, but nothing more so than the fact that the entire team, top to bottom, was failing to come up big in the moments that mattered most. Or, in games they were able to muster such a moment, they were unable to follow it up with another one. They needed help in pitching, they needed help in hitting, but most importantly they needed a momentum shift to prove to themselves and to everyone that they are less the team that struck out thirty-four times in the last two games against the Blue Jays, and more the team that swept them in the Wild Card series last year.
The Seattle Mariners meet the moment, turn the tide, and beat the Toronto Blue Jays in extra innings
