Unlikely crew carries Mariners to 5–0 win

One of the problems with a rebuilding reloading team is the motley crew of characters that fills in at the bottom of the lineup, or in the middle innings of a game.

Sure, you’ll get some exciting MLB starters — your Mitch Hanigers, your Kyle Lewises — and you’ll have a compelling prospect or two that catches your eye. But that lineup is not long enough with those guys, and once we roll around to the 7-8-9 section, things are looking dicey at best. Don’t even get me started with the 4th and 5th (or 6th) starters we see.
