Less than two months into the season, the Seattle Mariners are quickly trending toward irrelevance in a season that started with expectations of ending the longest playoff drought in the major leagues. Seth Brown and Elvis Andrus both homered off reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray and the Oakland Athletics beat Seattle 4-2 on Wednesday, dropping the Mariners into last place in the AL West. Oakland took two of three in the series and leapfrogged the Mariners in the division standings.
The Seattle Mariners activated former AL rookie of the year Kyle Lewis from the injured list Tuesday, nearly a year after he last played in a major league game. Lewis, the 2020 rookie of the year, missed most of last season due to a right knee injury. The slumping Mariners are hoping his return to the lineup can provide a spark.
Elvis Andrus hit a tying homer in the sixth, singled and scored in the seventh and the Oakland Athletics snapped a 13-game losing streak against the Seattle Mariners with a 7-5 victory on Tuesday night. Tony Kemp had three hits for the Athletics and Jed Lowrie also homered. “I think (the offense) is trending in the right direction,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said.
