Mariners show mental fortitude to beat Astros in must-win game

The Mariners came back from the most devastating loss of the season, to dominate the Astros 10-5 and set up crucial rubber match.

Colt Emerson has struggled since getting off to a promising start with the Mariners and at this point, going to Tacoma is for the best.

Logan Gilbert brought his A-game when the Mariners needed it the most, to help set them up for a desperately needed victory in The Bronx.

The Mariners looked good early in The Bronx, but ultimately lost a season-high sixth straight game in a further blow to their playoff hopes.

Bryan Woo pitched his best road start of the season, but the bullpen and lineup combined to make it five straight losses for the Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners have claimed Nolan Kingham off waivers from the Rangers, while reports indicate Rob Refsnyder is going to retire.

It was a truly wonderful weekend of celebrating 50 years of Mariners baseball, but now it’s back to reality and a fast-fading playoff push.

The Mariners made plenty of positive and aggressive moves with the roster on Tuesday, but proceeded to get blanked 8-0 by the Tigers.

The Mariners get the right-handed bat they need, acquiring Taylor Ward from the Orioles for Alex Hoppe, Brock Moore and Harrison Kreiling.

Objectively speaking, the trade is a win for the Mariners, but it’s tough not to be sentimental about Luis Castillo departing.

For one night at least the Mariners lineup showed what it can do; now it’s about building on this and finally fulfilling the preseason hype.

By this time next week we will have a pretty good idea of where the Mariners are headed, in what has so far been a disappointing season.
