The Seattle Mariners fired manager Scott Servais on Thursday with the team in the midst a two-month collapse that included squandering a 10-game lead in the division and slipping to the fringes of playoff contention in the American League. The team tabbed former Seattle catcher Dan Wilson to take over for Servais. The decision came on the heels of a disastrous 1-8 road trip that dropped the Mariners to 64-64 after being 13 games over .500 in mid-June. The Mariners trail Houston by five games in the AL West and are 7 1/2 back in the wild-card standings. Servais was 680-642 in charge of the Mariners.
