Seattle Mariners, Seahawks Combine For History Not Seen in Last 30 Years on Sunday
Sunday was a good day for Seattle sports fans.
First, the Mariners beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-4 at Busch Stadium. With the win, they moved to 73-71 on the year. Seattle is now just 3.5 games back of the final wild card spot with 18 games to play. They are 4.5 games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West.
Then, the Seattle Seahawks opened up the Mike Macdonald-era with a win, beating the Denver Broncos 26-20. They are 1-0 and certainly look like they've improved the defense, a major issue over the last few seasons.
It's not just that the Mariners and Seahawks won on the same day, but it's how they won. The team's combined to do something not seen in more than 30 years.
Per Mariners stat-man Alex Mayer on social media:
The @Mariners (W 10-4) & @Seahawks (W 26-20) each won by the same margin of victory (+6) on the same day for the first time since Sept. 19, 1993: Mariners won 4-1 vs. Royals & Seahawks won 17-14 at Patriots. #TheMayerGWS

Despite that, you should still listen as we got great perspective on what the M's are going through from Adnan Virk of the MLB Network and Tom Caron of NESN. Also, Brady discusses what kind of spending ownership should engage in moving forward. CLICK HERE:
