Another drama-free victory with plenty of offense against the worst team in baseball?
Come on, that’s not the Mariners’ style of baseball. For the last three years, most games are gut-churning, nail-biting affairs that are decided by the slimmest of margins, leaving everyone emotionally drained and ready to imbibe.
But unlike the past two years, when they’d prevailed far more often than not in games decided by one run, the Mariners have struggled this season, losing 12 of the 16 games decided by one run, including losing the past three. Their last victory in a one-run game came in Oakland.
