Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images The Mariners are treading water as we enter June. After an 18-12 April, the Mariners went 13-14 in May. The rotation continued to exit games early, exposing a shallow and inconsistent bullpen. The heart of the lineup continued to mash, but the bottom of the order struggled to contribute. Still, the Mariners are 1-0 in June after Sunday’s walkoff, series-clinching win over the Twins.

David Banks-Imagn Images The Mariners bounced back from a 1-5 homestand with a sweep in San Diego, outscoring the Padres 15-3 in three games. The rotation was good, the bullpen was good, and the lineup was good. The Mariners now hold the top spot in the AL West heading into one of the “friendlier” stretches of the season — three of their next six series are against the AL’s cellar dwellers. It comes at a good time, too.
