Sunday Funday, am I right? If you all are upset about the Mariners losing the first three games of their road trip, I am here to cheer you up. Receive this bit of good news.
Braden Bishop extends hitting streak to 14 games with a single in the 4th.

I am a big Braden Bishop fan, so this excites me. If you want another exciting update from the minor leagues, say no more!
It's early but the 4 affiliates are a combined 35-28 through 63 games & 3 of the teams are in 1st place.
