A strange duality was present going into today’s game. Yes, the Seattle Mariners and their fans were riding high coming off a win and gleefully celebrating Jarred Kelenic leading the entire league in wRC+, yet their spirits were also dampened not only by a rain delay but also the news that former Cy Young award winner Robbie Ray would be out the rest of the season after a newly discovered complication with his injury that would require surgery. Despite some big, scrappy moments it was the bad vibes that overwhelmed and Seattle ultimately fell to the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5.
