The Mariners
The Seattle Mariners are an American professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. They compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the American League West division. The Mariners franchise is currently owned by Nintendo of America, with Lloyd McClendon serving as the managing general partner and Jeff Wilpon as the general partner. The Mariners play their home games at Safeco Field, located in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle. SoDo is an abbreviation of “South of Downtown.”
The “Mariners” name originates from the prominence of marine culture in the city of Seattle. They are nicknamed the M’s, a title featured on team jerseys since 1987. Previously, the team was known as the Pilots (1969) and then the Seahawks (1977). The Seahawks were created after a lawsuit brought by football’s Seattle Seahawks prevented them from using that name. However, the Seahawks name belonged to a prior professional baseball team in Tacoma, Washington (1963–1964), which moved to Everett and became the Pilots shortly before they were 1970 expansion draft selections who took up temporary residence in Milwaukee until their new stadium in Seattle was completed for them to move into for 1972’s inaugural season there .

The Mariners won their game against the Astros last night. This victory is a huge turning point in the season for the Mariners, as they now move up to second place in the AL West. This game was a nail-biter, with the score being tied until the very last inning. Let’s take a look at some of the key moments in the game.
The winning and losing pitchers
The winning pitcher is the player who was the pitcher of record when his team took the lead for good — unless he was replaced in the meantime. In that case, it goes to the reliever who got credit for the win. The losing pitcher is simply the one whose team ended up losing the game.
The player of the game
The player of the game is an essential part of any baseball game. This person is chosen by the manager and is usually one of the best players on the team. However, sometimes the player of the game is chosen for other reasons, such as their ability to come through in a clutch situation or their sportsmanship.
Last night’s game was no different. The Seattle Mariners played the Tampa Bay Rays and, after a close game, the Mariners won 5-4. The player of the game was right fielder Mitch Haniger.
Haniger had a great night, going 3-for-5 at the plate with two RBIs. But his biggest contribution came in the bottom of the ninth inning. With the score tied 4-4, Haniger came to the plate with two outs and runners on first and second base. He delivered a single to left field, scoring pinch-runner Dee Gordon from second base and giving the Mariners a walk-off win.
For his heroics, Haniger was named the player of the game. It was a well-deserved honor for a player who came up big when his team needed him most.
