Marco Gonzales and Taylor Trammell both impressed in their returns and we had the victorious welcome back montage all ready to go but the M’s bullpen couldn’t hang on for the win. Overall, it was good news to see Marco looking so strong in his first start since April 27th and Trammell showing that his success in Tacoma was not a fluke. Unfortunately, there was bad news when it comes to Kyle Lewis’ knee injury. Danny and Paul discuss what that means for the Mariners moving forward.
