Mariners get the Runs in New York

More from Mariners News

Seattle was in a bad place offensively as they traveled to the Big Apple last week. The Mariners had lost 5 of 6 on their home stand and scored 11 runs combined. Obviously scoring less than 2 runs per game is not going to lead to many wins.

Thankfully the Mariners exploded for 7 runs on Friday night. Overall, Seattle scored 13 runs in 3 days and averaged just over 4 runs per game. They had double-digit hit tallies on Friday and Saturday.

As a team, the M’s hit .264 and registered a .297 on base percentage. The Mariners went 8 for 31 with runners in scoring position, good for a .258 average. Those numbers are far from earth shattering, but they are a big improvement compared to the disastrous home stand against the Texas Rangers and Oakland A’s.

Hopefully Seattle will be able to build on their newfound success at the plate this week in Cleveland.
