Now there’s a comeback.
On the heels of an absolute drubbing by the Baltimore Orioles, the Seattle Mariners were drearily on pace for a series loss once again this evening after a three-hour delay incurred by the possibility of rain, if not its actuality. Facing O’s young fireballer Grayson Rodriguez, the same Mariners offense that has egregiously struggled to punish mistakes all season was silenced for six frames. Fastballs, sliders, and changeups from the young righty were overpowering for M’s hitters, as even some good approaches were washed away with 13 whiffs and zero runs on 82 pitches, with Gray-Rod carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning.
