ARLINGTON, Texas — After losing their last nine games against them and 10 of the 12 meetings this season, the Texas Rangers finally found a way to beat the Seattle Mariners, prevailing, 7-4.
But in an uncharacteristically sloppy performance for the Mariners, it wasn’t so much that the Rangers beat them, but that they beat themselves with mistakes and failed execution.
It was more than the Mariners’ restored offense could overcome. The Mariners lost just for the 13th time in 62 games where they’ve scored four runs or more.
