the Mariners try to win a series for the first time since San Diego
After a thrilling victory last night, the Mariners are poised for their first series victory since the sweep in San Diego, which feels like so very long ago. However, in order to do that they’ll need more offensive consistency than they’ve been seeing, and a strong start from Luis Castillo, as the bullpen is running on fumes.
