NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 03: Julio Rodriguez #44 of the Seattle Mariners walks back to the dugout after striking out during the first inning against the New York Mets at Citi Field on September 03, 2023 in New York City. The Mets defeated the Mariners 6-3. NEW YORK — Before his team’s second game against the New York Mets this weekend, Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais ran the stairs at Citi Field.
The best record in baseball since July 20 took the Mariners not just into the wild-card picture but also, from 10 games back of the Texas Rangers in the AL West to first place in the division, passing the Astros along the way. The Mariners had won 13 of their previous 15 when they arrived in New York and dropped the first game against a Mets team that had long since fallen out of contention.
Since then, the Mariners’ lineup is first in team wRC+, second in slugging and third in stolen bases, home runs and batting average. Their pitching staff has the lowest ERA, fewest runs allowed, second-lowest WHIP and fifth-most strikeouts. This is the latest the Mariners have been in first place since 2001 — when they won 116 games en route to the ALCS.
