Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Canzone homers again, Mariners stack singles to win against their AL West rivals Today the Mariners traveled to Surprise, land of retirement communities and strip malls, to take on the reigning World Series Champions, the Texas Rangers. Both teams ran out lesser versions of their full-strength lineups, but the end result was similar to what we’ve seen from both teams this spring: lots of offense, a little less pitching, and an eventual 9-5 win for the visiting Mariners. It wasn’t the most scintillating pitching matchup, with Tyson...
