Season series: Tied 4-4
The Mariners lost 2 of 3 games against the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend, and they brought their bad juju to the Bay Area. Seattle has dropped each of the 1st 2 games of the series, with Oakland walking it off both nights. Seth Brown was the hero Tuesday with a HR earlier in the contest, and a game-winning single.
In the losing effort, Seattle’s Cal Raleigh had a 2-run RBI double in the 1st inning to get to 84 RBI. That’s the best mark in franchise history by a catcher, breaking the record of his interim manager, Dan Wilson. It was the 25th time Raleigh has had a multi-RBI game, too, and the Mariners are 19-6 in those outings.
