The Seattle Mariners have been on a roll lately, and it continued on Tuesday night with their 7th consecutive win. The Mariners defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-2, tying them with the Houston Astros in the American League standings. The win also increased their lead over the Toronto Blue Jays to two games.
The Mariners have been playing some of their best baseball of the season during this streak. They have scored at least four runs in each of their wins, and have outscored their opponents 37-15. Their pitching has been equally impressive, as they have allowed just three runs in their last four games.
The Mariners have been led by some of their veteran players during this streak. Outfielder Mitch Haniger has been on fire, hitting .385 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in the last seven games. Shortstop Jean Segura has also been a key contributor, batting .357 with two home runs and five RBIs.
The Mariners have also received some clutch performances from their younger players. Catcher Omar Narvaez has been a sparkplug at the plate, hitting .333 with two home runs and seven RBIs in the last seven games. Meanwhile, rookie Kyle Lewis has been a force in the outfield, batting .364 with two home runs and six RBIs during the streak.
The Mariners are now tied with the Astros for the second-best record in the American League, and they have a two-game lead over the Blue Jays for the third spot. With just over a month left in the regular season, the Mariners are in prime position to make a run at the playoffs. If they can keep up their hot streak, they could be in for an exciting postseason.
