The Seattle Mariners lost 3-2 to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday; It was Seattle's fourth-consecutive loss — all by one run.
Most people know the popular phrase "when it rains, it pours." And in a borderline unbelievable show of irony, it's the team from the Pacific Northwest that continues to be the living embodiment of that saying.
"Another really tough one tonight," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said in a postgame interview Tuesday. "Two walk-offs in a row is tough, not doubt about it. ... Offensively, we got off to a good start and they kind of settled in, the pitching staff, and they made it difficult for us later on. ... We've been able to strike early and get on the board and then it's just a matter of being able to add on.
The Mariners inability to bring runners around the bases gave the Athletics a second consecutive walk-off opportunity.Many Seattle fans and media have commented that a series win was crucial to keep the Mariners' postseason aspirations a reality. Now, the best Seattle can hope for is a split.
