The Seattle Mariners have been struggling recently, falling below the .500 mark after a tough series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the manager Dan Wilson’s belief in the team's attitude and energy, the Mariners are failing to convert their base runners into runs, having stranded an alarming 493 runners this season. Their batting average with runners in scoring position is a mere .222, ranking them among the bottom teams in MLB.

Currently, they sit four games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West. Center fielder Julio Rodríguez expressed the team’s frustration but noted the importance of remaining composed through the ups and downs of the season. With the return of first baseman Rowdy Tellez's improving form, the Mariners hope to regain their offensive prowess and get back on track quickly.
