SEATTLE – J.P. Crawford stepped forward to present a brave face after all that’s gone wrong over the past month for a Seattle Mariners team that began the season with so much enthusiasm and optimism.

The tanking team vs. the sinking team.

BOSTON — With Mitch Haniger likely not return from ankle injury until early July, and Kyle Lewis likely to be a full-time designated hitter when he is healthy enough to return from knee surgery, and Jarred Kelenic refinding his confidence in Tacoma, the Mariners are taking a flyer on a former All-Star outfielder that hasn’t played in a baseball game since spring training.

They’ve come at random times in seven of his nine starts this season. There are usually no precursors to their occurrence. The indicators that they are starting are usually a leadoff batter reaching base or a walk, sometimes two, or even three being issued to pressurize the situation, making mistakes more penal.

BOSTON – Trevor Story had three homers, four hits and seven RBIs to help the Boston Red Sox rally from a four-run deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 12-6 Thursday night.
