I have done my fair share of complaining that the Mariners do not get calls behind the plate, so I'm not trying to get into that debate.
However, IF Felix or Elias had rec'd a mystery strike in the first inning when they were in trouble, the results may have been different. Unfortunately though, the Mariners are still not getting calls, and then they are going against teams that are just plain getting lucky. If there wasn't the wild pitch / past ball, the infield would not have been pulled in... and the back breaking pop up would have been caught by Miller versus the bloop hit... or IF Ackley would have actually decided to charge the single, he may have been able to gun Springer at 3rd, versus that demoralizing 1st to 3rd on a single to left. There have been plenty of other examples too like balls going off of gloves, or balls hitting walls that if a foot or two shorter were outs, and etc...
Yes, hustle and preparedness can aid the luck factor, but teams do just get lucky sometimes.
