Good morning everyone! For those of you who are NFL fans, I hope you enjoyed your first full NFL Sunday. For those of you who are not, I hope your Sunday was enjoyable nonetheless. Hopefully you didn’t spend too much time watching yesterday’s Mariners game. Now that the week is getting going, let’s start your day off with some links.
In Mariners news...
- Certainly a...dubious distinction.
Teams to score 20 runs and allow no more than 1 hit in the same game:

6/21/1871 - Boston Red Stockings vs. Fort Wayne Kekiongas (21-0 score, Al Spalding starting)
9/08/2019 - Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners (21-1 score, Gerrit Cole starting)
- If you’re on Twitter, then you’re well aware of the impact this account makes on the M’s community. Well-deserved praise for another great season of coverage.
With the MiLB season for the Mariners at a close, it's time to extend a hearty thank-you to @MiLBMariners for constant coverage of the minors system. Invaluable resource and a must-follow for Mariners fans as the farm system continues to improve.
