The Mariners sweep in San Diego and that’s just baseball.
This is why we say it’s early and it has nothing to do with wins and losses, it has to do with the fact that it’s a very long season and getting swept or sweeping a team from one weekend to the next is the way it goes sometimes.
Having said that though, these last 3 games were probably the most complete, best all-around games we have seen from this team in a long time.
The starting pitching delivered, the bullpen stepped up and the offense came through against the Padres.
:30- Mariners Morning After- Bryan Woo went 7 innings and continues to impress, despite one small hiccup in the 1st against the first batter he faced. Tatis went yard to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead, but that was it, the Padres couldn’t score and the Mariners bats were very active.
:45- Scottie Scheffler took home the Wanamaker trophy for his 3rd major win of his career after a dominant Saturday and an even round on Sunday to hang on to his lead when others came charging but ultimately fell flat.
