After advancing to the American League Championship Series last year, the Mariners have been stuck in neutral during the early stages of this season. Manager Dan Wilson's club was able to notch a 7-1 victory over the Twins on Tuesday night to move to 15-16 on the year and get within one game of the Athletics for first place in the AL West. Josh Naylor hit a three-run homer and Julio Rodíguez stroked a two-run double to provide the offense, while the Seattle bullpen authored four scoreless innings to seal the win.
The night was not without some agitation for Wilson, however, as the manager did not care for the way a unique situation was handled in the top of the seventh. Below is video of the play that led to Wilson coming out of the dugout and giving a piece of his mind to home plate umpire Doug Eddings.
