CLOBBERED ACE OF THE DAY
The Mariners were burying the Angels, 8-1, heading to the bottom of the 4th with Felix Hernandez on the mound.
That’s King Felix Hernandez.
And that’s the Angels who won 10-9 and it was the second-largest blown lead by the Mariners in team history, topped only by a 12-run comeback by the Indians in 2001.
Hernandez has had bad games in his career
But he’s never blown a lead like this
