Sinking the Mariners

The Rangers completed a sweep of the Mariners Wednesday afternoon with a 14-1 thumping. Seattle ace Felix Hernandez allowed six runs in four innings, and each of the reliever gave up at least two runs as the Rangers hit five home runs. They take the series by a score of 28-11.

The Rangers are now 11-4 against the Mariners this season, and with Seattle 11 1/2 games out of first place in the AL West, owe much of their deficit to their poor performance against the Rangers. The Mariners were gaining in the AL Wild Card race, but five losses in a row put them 4 1/2 games behind the Orioles, and they are seventh of the seven teams with a shot at one of the wild card slots.
