Seattle MarinersvsMilwaukee Brewers
SEA 7/MIL 5
Things to say
The Mariners beat the Brewers 7-5 in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
01
opener
Yeah, Seattle grabbed that one 7-5 up in Milwaukee. Feels like a getaway-day game where the bats woke up late. The Mariners just kept putting traffic on the bases and the Brewers couldn't slam the door.
02
key player
The top of Seattle's order was the whole story, honestly. Heart of the order kept turning it over and the Brewers never got into their stuff against them.
03
hot take
Look at the records though, 60-67 team goes into Milwaukee and takes down a club sitting at 78-49. On paper Seattle had no business winning that.
04
deep cut
Brewers manager went to the pen a touch early if you ask me, and those middle innings out of the bullpen are where this one flipped.
05
exit
Anyway, good spot for Seattle to steal one on the road. Curious to see how they carry it into the next series.
The recap
Seattle went into Milwaukee and swiped one from the best record in the league, hanging seven on the Brewers to take it 7-5. The Mariners' bats did the heavy lifting, jumping on Milwaukee early and forcing the manager to dig into his pen before he wanted to.
Give the Brewers credit for clawing back to five, but Seattle's arms slammed the door late and never let the heart of the order tie it up. A nice getaway-day steal for a sub-.500 club playing spoiler against a division heavyweight.
