3-4 (loss in 11 innings)

Yet another great starting performance by Sonny Gray is squandered by the bullpen.  Yet another loss in extra innings. Yet another doubt on if this season is salvageable with how terrible the secondary  pitching squad has performed this season.   Safeco is a difficult place to score , runs are at a premium...except perhaps when our bullpen visits Seattle.
