Mariners Dismantle Rockies with Explosive Second Inning Rally at Coors Field
The Seattle Mariners, now standing at 11-11, showcased their offensive might in a commanding 10-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies' record fell to a challenging 5-17 after the game. The Mariners' bats were alive and well, racking up 13 hits throughout the contest.
In what turned out to be a pivotal second inning for the Mariners, they unleashed an offensive barrage that saw them score six runs on five hits. This explosion was part of an overall impressive display of hitting that included four extra-base hits and a home run. The team's batting average for the game was .333, with their slugging percentage reaching .513 and on-base plus slugging (OPS) totaling .862.
The Mariners' pitching staff also had a commendable day on the mound. Their starter pitched six innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out four batters while maintaining an ERA of 1.5 for the game. The bullpen took over seamlessly from there, throwing three scoreless innings to close out the game with an ERA of zero.
Defensively, Seattle committed only one error which did little to dampen their overall performance as they maintained a fielding percentage of .974 across nine innings.
