The Seattle Mariners suffered a nine-inning loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, dropping their record to 8-14. The Mariners were unable to capitalize on a strong start by starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, who allowed just one run in five innings of work. The bullpen, however, was unable to hold the lead, as the Yankees scored four runs in the sixth inning to take the lead.
The Mariners offense was unable to respond, managing just two runs on six hits. They were unable to take advantage of numerous opportunities, stranding seven runners on base. The Mariners also struggled to make contact with the ball, striking out 11 times against Yankees pitching.
The loss was especially disappointing for the Mariners, who had won three of their last four games and were looking to continue their momentum. Instead, they were unable to capitalize on a strong start by Gonzales and were unable to keep up with the Yankees’ offense.
The Mariners will look to bounce back in their next game, which is scheduled for Wednesday night against the Oakland Athletics. They will need to find a way to generate more offense and take advantage of their opportunities if they want to get back in the win column.
It was a tough loss for the Mariners, but they will look to regroup and get back on track in their next game. With a little bit of luck and some improved offensive production, they should be able to get back in the win column soon.
