The Seattle Mariners lost to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, marking the second consecutive game that they have lost against the sub-.500 squad.

With the losses, three straight in total, Seattle is now 59-56 and 0.5 games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West. They’ll look to avoid getting swept – at home – on Thursday.

For the second consecutive night, Mariners fans and personalities on social media were left questioning a late-game decision by manager Scott Servais, and his post-game rationale.

On Tuesday, they were upset about the decision to pinch-hit Mitch Garver with two outs in the ninth inning, and on Wednesday, they were upset by bullpen usage in the ninth inning.

To reset the situation, the Mariners trailed 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Cal Raleigh hit a would-be go-ahead homer but it was robbed on an incredible play by Parker Meadows to end the inning. Trailing 3-2 in the top of the ninth, the M’s elected to go to reliever Jonathan Hernandez, who was just claimed off waivers.
