SEATTLE — Given the back-and-forth nature of their game results this season, it might have been logical to expect the Mariners to pull out a victory on Thursday afternoon, after they’d dropped two straight to the Twins.
But the easier reason to expect Seattle to prevail in the finale of the four-game series at T-Mobile Park was based on their starter.
In the aftermath of his previous start, one of his worst of the season, a highly-irritated George Kirby ended his brief postgame media session, saying, “I can’t wait to get out there next week.”
