The Seattle Mariners suffered a 4-1 loss to the Washington Nationals on Sunday, resulting in a series loss. The Mariners’ offense struggled to get anything going against the Nationals’ pitching staff, as they were only able to muster one run on seven hits.
The Mariners started the game off with a bang, as Kyle Seager hit a solo home run in the first inning. However, that would be the only run they would score for the rest of the game. The Nationals responded with a run in the bottom of the first and then added three more in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 lead.
The Mariners had several chances to get back into the game, but were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. They had runners in scoring position in the third, fifth, and sixth innings, but were unable to bring them home. The Nationals’ pitching staff was able to keep the Mariners’ offense at bay, as they only allowed seven hits and one run over nine innings.
The loss was a disappointing one for the Mariners, as they had been playing well recently and were hoping to build on their recent success. The Mariners had won four of their last five games prior to Sunday’s loss, but were unable to keep that momentum going against the Nationals.
The Mariners will now look to regroup and get back on track as they prepare for their next series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Mariners will need to find a way to get their offense going if they want to have any chance of success against the Angels. It will be a tough task, but if the Mariners can find a way to get their offense going, they could be in for a successful series against the Angels.
