It remains to be seen whether the Mariners’ roller-coaster ride Wednesday to an 8-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels sparks a turnaround or merely puts a pause their disappointing season.
It had the makings of another depressing defeat when they saw a 4-0 lead turn into a 6-4 deficit before they scored four two-out runs in the eighth inning on a two-run double by Jarrod Dyson and a two-run single by Jean Segura.
Then came some tense two-out moments in the ninth when Eddie Diaz served up a homer to Kole Calhoun and hit Mike Trout with a pitch before striking out Albert Pujols.
