Seattle Mariners Continue to Pace the League in Frustrating Category For Fans
In this story:
The Seattle Mariners pulled out a dramatic 4-3 victory on Monday night against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park. The M's trailed 3-2 in the eighth inning but got a go-ahead single from Jorge Polanco in that frame to take the lead and Andres Munoz locked down the save.
The Mariners have now played in five-one run games this season, which has continued to place them at the top of the league in a mind-blowing category.
Since 2024, 60 of Seattle's games have been decided by one run. They are an even 30-30 in those contests. The following came from @CirclingSports after the M's lost a one-run game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Today was the @Mariners 59th one-run game since the start of the 2024 season, good for the most in @MLB.
This loss marks their 30th one-run loss since 2024, fourth-most in @MLB.#TridentsUp
To expand on that statistic, all but one of the Mariners' seven losses entering Tuesday have been by three runs or less.
Seattle has struggled so far this season bringing runners home. The team has generated traffic, but it hasn't resulted in scores. In the series against the Giants alone, the Mariners hit .156 (5-for-32) with runners in scoring position and left 35 runners stranded.
The M's will host the Astros again on Tuesday night with first pitch coming at 6:40 p.m. PT. Luis M. Castillo will pitch against Astros' ace Framber Valdez.
