The Mariners Dropped One to Texas, and the Rangers Are Looking Dangerous
The Mariners came up short against the Rangers on Monday, falling 2-1 in a tight contest that had all the makings of a winnable game. Seattle's bats couldn't quite get enough going to push across the runs needed, and that's the difference in baseball. One run isn't going to cut it against a Rangers team that's clicking early in the season.
Early April Struggles Keep Piling Up
At 4-7 so far, the Mariners are already digging themselves a hole they didn't want to be in this early. Every loss in April stings a little more because there's still so much baseball ahead, but you can't afford to let teams get momentum. The Rangers, sitting at 5-5, didn't play a perfect game either, but they found a way to win. That's what separates teams that figure it out from teams that don't.

The schedule doesn't get any easier. The Mariners are headed to Arlington again to face off against Texas on April 8th at 8:05 PM ET, and they'll need to bounce back quick. This is the kind of series where you can't afford to go down 0-2 against a division rival. The Rangers are beatable, but you have to show up ready to play and put runs on the board. One run won't win ballgames. Seattle has to find a way to string together some hits and get back in the win column before this slide gets worse.
