Seattle boosts its record to 14-7, host defending champ Las Vegas Wednesday. An agonizing 5-4, 10-inning loss to Toronto. That's a microcosm of the Mariners' nine-game homestand. Way too many strikeouts, 14 few clutch hits with runners in scoring position. The M's had a bad break in the ninth inning. Cal Raleigh's line drive bounced over the wall for a ground rule double.
