Mariners play unfun, fun, then unfun again game, lose to Baltimore 2-9

It’s all fun and games until the other team hangs almost double digits on you

Even having prepared oneself mentally for the jump in competition from the A’s and Royals to the Orioles and Yankees, tonight was a jarring start to the Mariners’ long road trip, as the Orioles battered Mariners pitching for nine runs. This was an odd game, starting out nearly unwatchable, then becoming actually sort of fun before descending back into unwatchably bad territory.
