SEATTLE — The Mariners exit this homestand in the same dismal position as when they arrived in Seattle last week – defeated and disappointed.
The order of that malaise may vary, but Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to the Phillies did nothing to change the growing belief that this team, with its postseason expectations, is listing toward a familiar place of irrelevance.
Seattle finished 2-5 over the seven-game homestand, and really, it could’ve been worse. Over the past 15 games, the Mariners have lost 12.
