Mariners Moose Tracks, 9/3/17: Giancarlo Stanton, Byron Buxton, and Deondre Francois
What a win last night! After losing five in a row, the Mariners could sweep the A’s with a win tonight. Let’s finish the weekend strong!
Sidenote: My buddy and I are taking a golf trip to the Palm Springs area, because nothing beats the 110 degree heat. Does anyone know any fun courses to play around there?
