Five-Game ReadRecap

A 3-2 stretch that was more complicated than the record suggests — the Mariners dropped two straight to the White Sox in Chicago, getting outscored 8-2 in those losses, before salvaging the finale with a big offensive day. The bookends were the highlights: a win over Atlanta to close out that series 2 of 3, and a clean 3-1 road victory over Houston to end the week on a positive note. Losing two in a row to one of the weaker teams in the league stings, but finishing with a win in Houston at least gives this stretch some shape.
