If you are hunting a play-off spot there is one thing you should not do: lose a series against a bad team. Not sure what part of that lesson the Seattle Mariners did not understand, since the D-Backs were able to snap their 17 losing away series skid at T-Mobile park. Yesterday’s guest recap wasn’t a guest recap at all since dusty, old English scholar James Attwood provided us with some nice detailed information. The lesson the Mariners did learn: despite some awkward defensive plays the D-Backs won, baby!
The D-backs’ 17 consecutive road sets without a series win was a franchise record.
