Best Moment: Mariners up six runs in the second inning of the final game of the series

Rockies starters have had a pretty rough go of it this year and Peter Lambert was not immune to the trend. After pitching a scoreless first inning, the Mariners put up six runs with everyone chipping in to help. Seby Zavala had his first hit and RBI as a Mariner, and J.P. Crawford had a bases-clearing triple. Interestingly, Crawford's triple went 426 feet and would've been a grand slam in every park other than Coors Field.

Cumulatively, Seattle has a long way to go before the offense is on par with the other playoff-bound teams. However, they have been one of the hottest teams in baseball recently. Since 4/15, they have the second-highest team OPS of .850, lagging behind just the Orioles with a .905 OPS. Over the course of 2024, their team OPS of .665 is 23rd in MLB but with players like Raleigh and RodrĂ­guez slowly reaching full power, the other teams in the AL West have officially been put on notice.
