Seattle Mariners Slide

The Seattle Mariners have taken a loss against the Cleveland Indians and this has broken their streak. The first 15-games the Mariners played were fun to watch, and they approached a record-setting winning streak. That streak has been broken, but there is still room for the Mariners to pick up during the 2019 MLB season.

The Mariners' loss to the Cleveland Indians was not a shock- the Indians have been performing well this season. The Indians went 4-2 against the Mariners and extended the losing streak Seattle was experiencing to 5.

Daniel Vogelbach, a major hitter on the Mariners suffered a slight setback after striking out 7-times in 3-games. This is not a career-ending situation, and the MLB season has just begun. Statistically, this should not keep Vogelbach on the bleachers.

Overall, the slump in Mariners wins is upsetting, but it is not a wet blanket this early in the season. Felix Hernandez is still proving his worth as a powerful pitcher, and is forecasted to perform this season. Keeping the faith is not difficult after a powerful season start and Spring Training for the Seattle Mariners.
