For the first time since the beginning of May (1-2 Baltimore, 1-2 Texas, 0-2 Dodgers) the Mariners have lost three series in a row. You’d be hard-pressed to have it happen at a worse time, as the M’s were faced with a golden opportunity to climb the wild card standings. Instead, they find themselves four games back of three different teams.
