Mariners Offense Gets Ripped After Astounding Ineffectiveness on Sunday
The Seattle Mariners lost to the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday by a score of 5-4 at T-Mobile Park. Unfortunately for the M's, they have now lost six straight series and are 8-12 in their last 20 games.
They have seen a once 10. 0 game lead on the Houston Astros fall to just 2.0 games in the American League West. They are now 49-43.
After the game on Sunday, the Mariners were roasted on social media for leaving an astounding 30 runners on base. Now, they *only* left 15 on base at the end of innings, but as individual players, they left 30 on base.

JP Crawford led the way by leaving seven runners on base himself, Cal Raleigh left six and Jorge Polanco left five. The Mariners left the bases loaded in the eighth, ninth and 10th innings as they had plenty of chances to take the lead or secure the win.
The Mariners typically have a hard time generating hits but they have shown the ability to generate general traffic on the bases over this 20-game stretch, however getting the runners in has been a huge challenge.
Things weren't helped on Sunday when Julio Rodriguez was out for a second straight day with quad tightness.
The Mariners are off on Monday before heading to San Diego for a two-game series with the Padres on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will take on the Los Angeles Angels after that for four games before the All-Star break.
