Mariners Win in the 10th

The Seattle Mariners or the Steelhead for
the night beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5.

Player of the game: JP Crawford who 
continues to be hot hit a grand slam 
home run in the second inning then 
scored the final run in the 10th inning
as the runner on second base when
Mitch Haniger hit the first pitch for
a single to win the game. The only
hit Haniger had on the night, however,
the perfect time.

Pitcher of the game: Logan Gilbert
went five and two-thirds innings. He
deserve the win though he didn't get 
it. He pitched well though giving up
six hits and four runs. Gilbert had no
walks and struck out seven. Two of
his hits went for a home run.

Mariners offense: It was too bad the
offense couldn't add on after the 2nd
inning, however, the team ended up 
winning in the 9th. Kyle Seager was
the only batter to have more than one
hit going 2 for 4 scoring a run. Since
being given a day off where he hit
in the winning run as a pinch hitter
in game one of the series Seager has
caught on fire after being in a slump.
This is usually when he starts hitting
better for a month or two. When he
is slumping either move him down
in the order or give him a day off
or do both. 

Sunday's starter: Marco Gonzales
Monday: Day off
