CHICAGO – A season-opening road trip that started off with the first game postponed due to freezing temperatures and a snow/sleet mix ended seven days later on Thursday afternoon where winds in the Windy City ranged from around a constant 30 mph to gusts up to 45 mph.
And in those days and games in between, the Mariners played in games with wind chills in the mid-20s, two where the temperature never got above 40 degrees and another with driving rain followed by a constant drizzle.
With their windswept 5-1 victory over the White Sox, the Mariners finished the seven-game road trip on a positive note, and head back to Seattle for Friday’s home opener vs. the Astros at T-Mobile Park with a 3-4 record.
