Gilbert Improves Mariners Win

Logan Gilbert went six innings on
Monday afternoon Memorial Day
as the Mariners went on to win
6-5.

Gilbert went further then he had
in his previous outings. In six
innings he gave up only two runs,
on five hits, walked one and struck
out five. Gilbert has those kind of
stats he will win a lot of games for
the Mariners. 

As a number one draft pick I am
sure the Mariners hope he can 
become the ace of the staff in
a few years. He certainly has the
capability to do so. 

Oakland scored a run in the third
then the Mariners had a big inning
in the fourth where Kelenic scored
on a Kyle Lewis hit after walking.
Donovan Walton hit his first major
league home run with two runners
on base. 

The A's scored another run in the
5th inning to make it 4-2 Mariners
In the 8th inning the A's ended up
tying the game.

The game went into extra innings.
The A's were able to drive in a run
to take 5-4 lead however in the bottom
of the 10th Tyler France drove in
Jack Wakefield who had come in 
because Kyle Lewis was hurt on a
hit over his head in the top of the 9th.
We hope Lewis won't be out long. 
That tied the game and then Tom 
Murphy hit a single into right field
to score France with the winning run.

Marco Gonzales is scheduled to start
on Tuesday night against the A's. He 
will be on a pitch count so could go
three or four innings then it will be
up to the bullpen to do their job
for the Mariners to win. The Mariners
are now 28-27 and would be two and
a half games behind the A's. Go M's.
