The Seattle Mariners won't win the 2017 World Series, but they do win tonight's game against the Angels

Tonight was a meaningless baseball game for two teams whose seasons had already ended before tonight's start. The Mariners won this meaningless game. Kyle Seager, Yonder Alonso, and Jacob Hannemann hit home runs. Hannemann's 404 footer was his first at the major league level. Edwin Díaz pitched beautifully, Dan Altavilla less so.

I'm not sure what else there is to say. The ends of things have always made me melancholy, baseball seasons particularly so. Days, weeks, months, and years are often conceptually meaningless in our minds, but somehow the arbitrary time periods of sports seasons encourage us to consider the past with greater clarity.
