The Seattle Mariners won nine straight series before getting swept by the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend. The Mariners opening four game series against The Athletics resulted in a tie before they went on to lose their next series to the Detroit Tigers 1-2 at home and then being swept by The Giants in San Francisco. Mariners' fans were concerned about the season however, their luck seemed to turn around when they beat the Astros in Seattle 2-1.
