Sooner or later, the Mariners were going to make somebody pay. Their lineup was going to play to its potential and, in a progression to the mean, unload on somebody.
That somebody was the Colorado Rockies.
The Mariners lashed out a season-high 19 hits Tuesday in a 10-4 victory at Coors Field that enabled them to sweep the first half of their four-game split series.
"It’s definitely good when you see runs score," Kyle Seager understated after contributing a two-run homer and a two-run double. "Everybody can breathe a little easier."
The turnaround began Sunday in Boston when the Mariners averted a three-game sweep with a 5-0 victory.
