Chris Flexen and Mariners Lose

The Seattle Mariners took on the LA
Angels Wednesday night losing 7-4.
Chris Flexen in his third start of the
spring didn't do so well.

Flexen went three innings giving up
six runs on nine hits, one walk and
striking out four. He gave three
runs in both the first and second
inning. On the positive note at least
if you are going to lose to a team
do it in spring training.

The Mariners four runs all happened
in the sixth inning when Evan White
hit a grand slam home run. White has
been struggling at the plate  so this is
a good time to get going with two
weeks until regular season starts.

Jarred Kelenic is now back into action
after having an injury earlier on. He
scored one of the runs ahead of White's 
home run. He walked to load the bases.

The Mariners had four hits in the game.
The game went seven innings which was
agreed before it was started as the Angels
had limited pitching. Besides White's
homer, Dylan Moore, Kyle Seager and
Tom Murphy each had a hit. Murphy's
was a double. He is starting to hit the
ball well now. 

Most of the remaining spring training
games will be played at night including
Thursday's game. Justin Dunn is expected
to start for the Mariners. They will be
taking on the San Francisco Giants. Nick
Margevicius should follow Dunn as they
are competing for the six spot in the rotation.
Last time Dunn pitched he came in for
Margevicius so those two have been 
alternating starting. 

Thursday night's game will be Dunn's
second start  three game of the spring.
He hasn't given up a run as of yet. It
would be nice to keep it that way. Go M's.
