Yordan Alvarez gave us some hope in the 4th inning with a solo homer to right, cutting the Mariners' lead to 2-1. But the Mariners answered right back with a homer from Jorge Polanco, extending their lead to 3-1. Despite a promising start in the 6th inning with Mauricio Dubón doubling and Altuve reaching base, we couldn't capitalize when Alex Bregman grounded into a double play. Late Inning Drama 
The 6th inning was a nightmare as Luke Raley's three-run homer widened the Mariners' lead to 6-2. But we didn't give up! Jeremy Peña homered to left-center in the 7th inning and Alvarez continued to perform, scoring on Chas McCormick's single in the 8th, setting the score at a more respectable 6-4.Ninth Inning Heartbreak 
The 9th inning was our last chance, but we couldn't put anything together as Jake Meyers, Trey Cabbage, and pinch hitter Joey Loperfido all struck out. Final Thoughts
