NEW YORK — This road trip always loomed as difficult long before the 2022 season began and the Astros and Yankees had shown they are the two best teams in the American League. Seven games at two places where the Mariners have struggled to find wins to close out a stretch of 13 in 13 days coming out of the All-Star break didn’t portend for success.
And save for one game with a crazy comeback, the Mariners have yet to find much success.
But what they’ve found in their first four games at Minute Maid Park and in their first of three games at Yankee Stadium, a less-than-competitive 7-2 loss, is that their execution must be better because their margin of error from success to failure is diminished due the differences in experience and overall talent and experience.
