The Seattle Mariners returned home to a hero’s welcome after a 3-7 road trip that ended with a loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The game was highlighted by a stellar performance from Rays’ pitcher Bryce Miller, who threw seven shutout innings and allowed just one hit. Miller was able to keep the Mariners’ bats quiet throughout the game, as they were unable to score a single run.
The Mariners had a tough time on the road trip, losing seven of their ten games. The team was unable to capitalize on their opportunities, leaving too many runners on base and not getting timely hits when they needed them. The pitching staff also struggled, allowing too many runs to be scored against them.
Despite the poor performance on the road trip, the Mariners still have a chance to make the playoffs this season. They are currently in second place in the American League West, just two games behind the first place Houston Astros. The Mariners have a strong lineup and a good pitching staff, so if they can find a way to get hot and win some games, they have a chance to make the playoffs.
The Mariners will now look to regroup and get back on track as they prepare for their next series against the Los Angeles Angels. They will need to put together some good performances if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. It all starts with getting back to basics and playing the game the right way.
The Mariners’ loss to the Rays was certainly disappointing, but they still have a chance to make the playoffs this season. The team will need to find a way to get back on track and start winning some games if they want to make it to the postseason. With a strong lineup and good pitching staff, the Mariners have the talent to make it happen.
