The Seattle Mariners had a tough day at the ballpark on Tuesday, August 11th, as they fell to the New York Mets 6-3 in a game that saw the Mets take the series. The loss was the Mariners’ second series defeat since July 17th, and it was a disappointing result for a team that had been on a roll since the All-Star break.
The Mariners had been playing well since the All-Star break, winning nine of their last twelve games and putting themselves in contention for a playoff spot. However, Tuesday’s loss to the Mets was a setback for the team. The Mariners were unable to capitalize on their early lead, as the Mets scored four runs in the fourth inning to take the lead. The Mariners were unable to rally back, and the Mets held on for the victory.
The loss was especially disappointing for the Mariners, as they had been playing well against the Mets this season. The Mariners had won three of their four previous meetings with the Mets, and had outscored them 21-13 in those games. Unfortunately, the Mariners were unable to keep up their winning ways against the Mets on Tuesday.
The loss was also a reminder of how quickly things can change in baseball. Just two weeks ago, the Mariners were in contention for a playoff spot. Now, they are struggling to stay above .500 and are in danger of missing out on the postseason.
The Mariners will look to bounce back from this loss as they continue their road trip. They will face off against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, and will look to get back on track with a win. If the Mariners can get back to their winning ways, they may still have a chance at making the playoffs.
