Mariners-White Sox split double-header

 Game 1

Mariners 3 White Sox 2

Player of the game: Taylor Trammell no
doubt he hit two home runs including the
winning run in the 9th inning. Also, Taylor
caught a ball deep that could have cost
the Mariners the game too in the bottom

of the ninth.

Mariner pitcher: Hector Santiago came in

to take over the suspended game in the

third game. Santiago left in the fifth inning

with one out. With the new rules checking

to see whether he had any substance he 

became the first pitcher to be caught. 

Santiago looked chocked to say the least.

More news will come out likely on Monday

whether he will be suspended or not. If so

he will miss ten games and the Mariners

won't be able to use another pitcher in his

spot. 

Though he didn't score any runs Mitch Haniger

had a could hits in the game as well.

Game 2 

White Sox 7 Mariners 5

Robert Dugger opener in place of Marco

Gonzales who came back to Seattle to take

care of his wife. Dugger brought up from

Tacoma gave up three runs in two and two-thirds

innings. 

Will Vest and Rafael Montero both continued

to struggle on the mound each giving up two

runs coming in after Dugger.

The Mariners rebound scoring three runs on a

homer by Mitch Haniger in the seventh inning.

Since the game was only going seven innings 

the Mariners came up short. At least they took

two out of three games from the White Sox.

The Mariners only had four hits in the second

game. Besides Haniger's two hits, Dylan Moore

and Jake Fraley had the other two hits.

The Mariner now head to Buffalo New York

to take on the Toronto Blue Jays. They play a

three game series. Chris Flexen who has pitched

outstanding in his last two starts will pitch on

Tuesday after the Mariners have a day off on

Monday. Justus Sheffield who has struggled

recently will take the mound on Wednesday. 

Yusei Kikuchi finishes the season Thursday

so hopefully the Mariners will be able to take

two from Toronto as well.

The Blue Jays are in third place of the American

League East with a 40-36 just ahead of the Yankees

and behind the Red Sox and the Rays. We hope the

Mariners can make a mess in that division. Go M's.
