Their longest winning-streak of the season is 4 games after a Cleveland sweep at the end of August and a 12-6 win against the Texas Rangers on the first day of September. However,standing at 57–87,their longest losing-streak of the season is 12 games,11 on the road,1 at home,after being swept by the L.A. Angels,Kansas City Royals,Oakland Athletics,and suffering a loss at the last homestand opener against the L.A. Angels. On September 23,the Mariners became the first club to spend $100 million in payroll and lose 100 games.
