In Mariners news…
- An awesome game-winning stat from Alex Mayer after a 2-1 Mariners win over the Athletics yesterday led by Bryan Woo.
Bryan Woo has a 0.72 ERA(!) in 7 career starts against the Athletics. The Mariners are 7-0 in those games. The 0.72 ERA is the 6th-lowest in MLB history in a pitcher’s first 7 starts vs. an opponent and LOWEST vs. a team that plays in the pitcher’s birthplace. #TheMayerGWS
