Andrés Muñoz took his fifth blown save and third loss after giving up three runs in 1 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Dodgers.
The Mariners actually turned to Muñoz in the seventh tonight, and he allowed an inherited runner to score then, tying the game and resulting in the blown save. The eighth saw him put two guys on via a HBP and a walk and then give up a three-run homer to Jason Heyward before he was removed with two outs. Muñoz was charged with as many earned runs tonight as in his previous 29 appearances combined. He’s still the heavy favorite for saves in Seattle, but with desperation setting in, he might continue to enter games in tough situations.
