CLOSE GAMES25 of 27 games have been decided by 3 or fewer runs, and the Mariners are the
only team this season to not record a win by at least a 4-run marginhad a club-record streak of 19
consecutive games decided by 3 or fewer runs come to an end with Saturdays 11-4 lossoverall are
6-6 in 1-run games (2-0 at home, 4-6 on road) and 3-5 in 2-run games (2-5 at home, 1-0 on road)10
