Mariners’s bullpen blows lead in 7-5 loss in 11 innings at Colorado

Seattle’s three-game winning streak ends as Michael McKendry hits a two-run homer off Mayckol Guaipe in the 11th after Fernando Rodney allows two runs in ninth.

DENVER — The Mariners’ winning streak ends at three. That’s if you deem three games a winning streak.

As has been the case quite often this season, the Seattle bullpen couldn’t protect a late lead.

Fernando Rodney blew the save in the ninth inning and Mayckol Guaipe served up a two-run walkoff homer to Michael McKenry in the 11th inning of a 7-5 loss Wednesday afternoon.

Rodney’s presence on the mound in the ninth inning brought back nightmarish memories of an abysmal first half of the season that saw him lose his closer job.
