Man, that 7-8 loss by our Mariners to the Athletics? That one just stings, you know? A one-run game late in the season always feels like a punch to the gut for us in the Emerald City, leaving every fan wondering what could have been.
Heartbreak in Oakland
We do not have all the details on how it went down, but when the final score flashes “Seattle Mariners 7 @ Athletics 8”, you know it was a battle right to the end. Every single run, every single out, every single pitch felt like it counted for double in a game like that. Tough pill to swallow, especially when you are so close to grabbing that W. We just have to believe they left it all out there.
Meanwhile, Around the League
While we are all still reeling from our game, there was other action across MLB. Out in Detroit, the Tigers squared off against the Colorado Rockies in a 12:10 p.m. ET matchup at Comerica Park. The Tigers came in with a 69-79 record, while the Rockies were struggling even more at 55-93. It was a “Fiesta finale” game for the Tigers, broadcast on Detroit SportsNet and MLB.TV.
