M’s fall short in last night’s rally ending a 3 game win streak. Luckily the Seattle Mariners still only remain 2.5 games back from first place in the American League West as the Texas Rangers lose yet another one making that it a 5 game losing streak. Hopefully the Mariners can pull it together tonight – they should – considering they are playing the San Diego Padres with a losing record of 31 and 38.
A noteworthy stat from last night’s game was Ken Griffey’s Jr’s home run making it the Mariners 5,000th franchise home run. It appears Griffey has retrieved the ball from a generous fan, and returned it to the Mariners for display. Griffey wouldn’t say what he had to give up to get the ball back from the fan, just that fan was reasonable, and would be taken care of for his generosity.
