Mariners reliever Tayler Saucedo, who grew up in Washington, reflects on his season with the team: I wanted to take this in one last time. Just a kid from Maple Valley who got to live out his dream this year. It was an Incredible honor to wear that jersey everyday. I gave everything I had every time I was out there. I wore that jersey with pride. I’m sorry we came up short. https://t.co/N2pz091yIW— Tayler Saucedo (@tsauce7) October 1,...

The teenaged guide is baffled when the...

Photo by Alika Jenner/ Sellout and rebound. Much like their last bout with a team at least claiming to be based in Los Angeles, the Seattle Mariners dropped the first game of the series despite opportunities for victory.

Tonight, however, the M’s will run a different sort of arm up on the hill following a quality start from George Kirby that...
