35-47: Chart
Mariners and Orioles regain their rightful places
Behold, the most relaxing game chart we’ve had around these parts in a hot minute:
Relaxing on a beach: J.P. Crawford, .229 WPA
Relaxing on a beach but realizing later you got bit all over by sand fleas and also didn’t apply enough sunscreen and there’s sand everywhere: Yusei Kikuchi, -.069 WPA
Moment of the game:
Without exaggeration: every time J.P. Crawford was up to bat, and every time the ball came to him in the infield. This was JPC’s best game as a Mariner, by far, and served as a reminder that he was a Top-100 prospect for a reason. Not only was he 4-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI, but he also had this key unassisted double play back when the game was still somewhat close:
