Mariners Split Spring Training Action: Win in Colorado, Loss to San Diego
The Seattle Mariners are heating up in spring training with a mixed bag of results on March 17. The club took one on the chin against the Padres but bounced back with a solid win over the Rockies in split-squad action. It is the kind of up-and-down stretch you see in March, but these games matter for building momentum heading into the regular season.
Beating the Rockies in Denver
The Mariners showed some offensive pop in Colorado, taking down the Rockies 10-6 in a spring training matchup. This is exactly the kind of road win you want to see before Opening Day rolls around. The bats were working, and that is always a good sign when you are trying to build chemistry and confidence in March. Getting a W against a division rival, even in spring training, feels good.
Falling Short Against the Padres
The other half of the split-squad games did not go as planned, with the Mariners dropping their contest against the Padres. Spring training is all about reps and adjustments, so a loss here is not the end of the world. But you still want to see the team win ballgames when they can.
What is Next
The Mariners are grinding through the final stretch of spring training with Game 24 on the slate. Every game from here on out counts toward getting this squad ready for the grind of the regular season. The team has Cal Raleigh behind the plate and Julio Rodriguez patrolling center field, two of the cornerstones of this franchise. As the calendar flips closer to April, these split-squad games are the last tune-up before the Emerald City gets serious baseball again.
