Felix Hernandez was in vintage form, allowing one run in eight innings, and run-scoring singles from Denard Span and Dee Gordon gave the Seattle Mariners a comeback 2-1 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

The Mariners have been hosting Gonzaga Nights for years now, but Saturday’s was as perfect as one could be. And one of the most attended as nearly 2,000 Bulldog fans showed up to hang out with others who know more about Final Fours than they do the infield-fly rule.

Marco Gonzales continued his run of excellent starts by pitching into the seventh inning and allowing just one run, and Ryon Healy hit his ninth homer as the Seattle Mariners beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 on Saturday night.

Mitch Haniger homered leading off the 13th inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Friday night to improve to 6-0 in extra innings. Haniger’s drive went out to right-center field, capping a game that lasted 4 hours, 16 minutes. Haniger jumped into a crowd of teammates at home plate and was doused with a bucket of blue Gatorade. The home run was his 12th this season, and he also drew three walks.

Marc Rzepczynski had one job to do as a member of the Mariners’ bullpen – get out left-handed hitters. It was a small, but definable role and the reason he was signed to a two-year, $11 million contract before the 2017 season.

This time there were no bullpen implosions or late-inning drama. The Mariners did something that has been rare in the past few weeks – they beat a team by a comfortable margin.

Jorge Alfaro drove in two runs, Aaron Nola pitched seven innings of two-hit ball and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 Thursday, spoiling Clayton Kershaw’s first start in almost a month.

Robinson Chirinos’ tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh inning capped another late-inning rally, and the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 on Wednesday night.

Rougned Odor broke a ninth-inning tie with a three-run double and the Texas Rangers beat Seattle 9-5 on Tuesday night, ending the Mariners’ four-game winning streak.

Scott Servais isn’t a fan of bunting. He made that clear since in his first days as manager of the Mariners. Like many people that follow the data and understand the difficulties of playing in the American League, he just doesn’t believe in giving another team a free out for 90 feet in every situation.

Marco Gonzales pitched into the seventh inning and did not allow an earned run for a third consecutive start, helping the Seattle Mariners top the Texas Rangers 2-1 on Monday.
