Sheffield Bounces Back

Justus Sheffield after having his worst
outing of the spring shut out the KC
Royals Tuesday night. The Mariners
won big 13-0. Sheffield gave up only
two hits in four innings with two walks
and striking out six. He will likely have
two more outings before regular season
begins.

The Mariners used four relievers all 
still competing for a spot doing a fine
job as well. News came out Roenis Elias
will be out this whole season. He is 
going to have Tommy John surgery
on his elbow. The Mariners gave him
a minor league contract to help out
for two years.

The Mariners had three home runs on
the night by Ty France who continues
to sting the ball mightily, Also, catcher
Tom Murphy and outfielder Julio Rodriguez.

Utility play Sam Haggerty had three hits
on the night including a double and a triple.
He looks like the favorite to win the utility
job. Tuesday night he played in center field.

The Mariners play the LA Angeles on Wednesday
night. The game will be televised on local 
television.  Chris Flexen will start his third
game of the spring. See how he goes. Go M's.
