Marco back and six runs again = good! bullpen imploding = bad.

Mariners 6 | Athletics 12

ON the MOUND

Nice to have Marco’s back: 4.0IP-2H-1R-1ER-1BB-6SO

but, ‘t was all downhill after that 😦

Santiago, Sewald and Zamora combined to allow NINE runs (SIX just in the 7th) and then Vest added a couple more

AT the PLATE

Normally, ELEVEN hits for SIX runs, including THREE doubles (Haniger, Seager, France) and TWO homers (Trammell and Murphy) is good enough for the victory but, the bullpen wasn’t able to maintain what Marco started

IN the FIELD and ON the BASES

ONE DP (Walton-Crawford)
TWO SBs (Walton, Crawford)

Marco's got one goal in mind 😤

Kyle Lewis was removed from Monday's game with discomfort in the knee after trying to make a difficult leaping catch and landing awkwardly in the eighth inning (from @RyanDivish) https://t.co/FfPvIhWkQW

Marco Gonzales's return from a month on the IL gets off to a great start. He retires A's in order in the first on 10 pitches, striking out Jed Lowrie.

Mitch Haniger with a RBI double to left field that ties the game at 1-1.

Hey, did you read @StoneLarry's column on why the Mariners should NOT trade Mitch Haniger?https://t.co/QVuont1JYu

After spiking his bat into multiple pieces yesterday, Kyle Seager likes this new bat and drives one into the gap in left-center to score Haniger. M's lead 2-1

Is the double conga line a thing?

France with the rbi double. Third in a row for the Mariners.

3-1 Mariners.

Kyle Seager's 3rd inning double is career number 293. He is two doubles away from tying Ichrio for third-most in franchise history.

Outstanding return for Marco Gonzales. Over four innings, he gave up two hits and one run, striking out six. I assume he's done for the night. 50 pitches.

He's back with a bang 💥 pic.twitter.com/v0Af6A9pDs

Mitch Haniger (@M_Hanny17) has 30 extra-base hits (15 doubles, 1 triple, 14 home runs) this season, most among American League outfielders.

So the bullpen has done a remarkable job stepping up in the absence of the leverage arms. Like seriously. Best bullpen WAR and FIP since Graveman went down. Tonight they turn into a pumpkin. Or they are throwing pumpkins. Not sure which. Probably due.
