The first game of the second part of the Mariner's 2019 season bore such a resemblance to the the whole of the first part that it might have been mistaken for a low-lights reel of the year so far. No hits. No runs. Three errors. 13 Angel runs, seven of them in the first inning off the ever-reliable, soon-to-be-traded Mike Leake. Leake may hurt it trade prospects with an unimpressive array of 45 pitches in the two-thirds of the first inning.
The Angels all wore Tyler Skaggs jerseys in remembrance of the recent sudden death of their teammate, but they could have just as legitimately donned M's unis if the night was about honoring the deceased. It was if someone had frantically awakened the Mariner's 30 minutes before the game, reminding them, "Hey guys, get up! Did you forget you had a game tonight?"
The highlight of the game? Omar Narvaez drew a walk in the fifth. That's it. It was that bad.
