## Resource

The Mariners flipped the script on the A’s in a tense series where Oakland tried to exploit Seattle’s right-handed hitters by loading up with lefties — a strategy that backfired spectacularly. Rob Refsnyder, the designated lefty specialist, owned his struggles and admitted he’s not been up to speed — but his clutch homer in this series was exactly what the team needed. While his season stats still lag behind, his accountability and willingness to rise to the challenge offer a glimmer of hope for a playoff-bound Mariners squad.
