Bullpen of the Week: Mariners making push

The Mariners relievers have allowed just two runs in their past 30 1/3 innings of relief.
“If I was playing on the other side, I would try to get my hits before the eighth or ninth inning,” Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano said.
With its stellar run of relief appearances against AL opponents Detroit and Oakland, the Mariners bullpen cemented its status as MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford.
