Rodriguez’s 17\u002Dhit deluge helps put the plucky Mariners back in race
There’s still six weeks left in the regular season, but the Mariners understandably feel good about their chances to play extended October baseball.
“It all comes down to the competing and our guys love to compete and we got after it today and that’s the only way you’re going to figure out a way to sweep a team like that at this time of the year,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “So we’ll keep rolling. Guys are feeling it right now. We’re playing great baseball.”After Sunday’s games, the Phillies , Giants , Cubs , Reds , Marlins and Diamondbacks are the six teams in the race for three NL wild-card spots.
“Every game matters,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on Saturday after a doubleheader sweep of the Padres. “I’m really amplifying that message. Wins are really, really important right now. The guys have been fantastic at doing the little things.”It’s been a brutal season for the Kansas City Royals, who are on track to lose more than 100 games this season.The young shortstop has had good moments in his first two seasons, but the former No.
The Red Sox have won eight of their past 11 games and continue to lurk in the AL race, sitting three games behind the Mariners for the final wild-card spot after Sunday’s games.They’ve lost nine of their past 10 games, putting them at 60-64 overall and nine games back for the final AL playoff position. In other words, things are pretty bleak. On Sunday, they lost eight straight games for the first time since 1995.The Yankees are in serious danger of finishing below .
