Part 2/8:
This recent success is noteworthy as it marks a franchise first: the Mariners have lost the opening game of a series and subsequently won four series in a row. Their streak of series victories comes against formidable opponents, including the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers, both of which are currently above .500. They also faced strong teams like the Cincinnati Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Boston Red Sox, solidifying their status as one of the top teams in the league.
