Takeaway The Mariners concluded one of the most statistically perverse road trips in franchise history Wednesday. During it, they set a club record by allowing 45 runs in three games in Boston, lost on a walk-off walk (Monday) for the first time in eight years, and ended the six-game sojourn by watching reliever Joe Beimel
Takeaway Some first-inning fireworks proved the difference as the Mariners secured a 3-2 road victory against the Texas Rangers (box score) on a boiling 97-degree night Wednesday in Arlington. Hisashi Iwakuma won his third game in a row in his first appearance since his no-hitter, crossing the career 500 strikeout mark in the process.
Takeaway Yet another loss by one run, the 21st this season, came to the Mariners in Arlington in a most lame way — a bases-loaded, walk-off walk to ex-Mariner Adrian Beltre by Fernando Rodney for a 4-3 defeat to the Texas Rangers (box score) on a 97-degree Monday evening.

Takeaway After a pair of historic defeats Friday (15-1) and Saturday (22-10), the Mariners (55-63) built a 7-0 lead, survived some late-game flop sweat, and defeated the Boston Red Sox 10-8 in 12 innings Sunday to avoid a broom job at Fenway Park (box score). Franklin Gutierrez hit two home runs, Robinson Cano had five
Takeaway Felix Hernandez marked the third anniversary of his perfect game (2012 vs. Tampa Bay) with an utter clunker (even his change up failed him). The Mariners (54-63) followed with an epic pratfall, losing to the Boston Red Sox 22-10 Saturday at Fenway Park (box score) as a sorry encore to their 15-1 drubbing Friday night.
