The Mariners beat the Angels 4-1 on Game 162 with big RBI’s from the Condor, but fail to make the tiebreaker game for the 2nd WC spot due to an Athletics win. 

Final record: 87-75. Compared to last year’s 71-91 record – such an improvement. Be proud of this season and what we accomplished rather than what we didn’t accomplish! 162 meaningful (and fun) games is quite an achievement.

For those confused about Wild Card standings, playoff berths, etc.

Here are the options for the Mariners:

In order to force a play-in game for the Wild Card:

  • M’s must sweep the Angels and have the A’s go 1-2 against Texas (they lost last night, so far they are 0-1)
  • M’s must go 2-1 against the Angels and have the A’s go 0-3 (Again, they are already 0-1)
  • M’s must sweep the Angels and have the Royals go 0-3 against the White Sox

In order to win the 2nd WC:

  • The M’s must sweep the Angels and have the A’s go 0-3 vs. Texas

We’re not out of it yet. No, our chances aren’t great, but we’ve got a chance. Go M’s.

Rodney ties the club record for most saves in a single season with 45 as LoMo, Kendrys and Cano all homer to beat the A’s, 4-2! They are now tied for the second Wild Card and are just a half game back of the A’s!
