The Seattle Mariners have shown they can beat teams by overpowering them on offense or with pitching and defense. They've shown both in the first two games of this weekend's American League West series against the swooning Texas Rangers and will look for a sweep of the three-game set when they clash on Sunday afternoon in Arlington,

Rookie Logan Evans surrendered six runs in a never-ending third inning, and the Mariners' six-game winning streak ended Sunday with an 8-1 loss to the Rangers.

So the Mariners finished the game off with a 7-6 win, completing their sixth series win in a row, and with the Rangers losing today’s game in epic fashion, that brings Seattle into sole possession of first place in the AL West. The Mariners are throwing a party right now, and they’re inviting everyone they know.
