Walk Off Win For Mariners

 Mariners 6 Rays 5


Early Exit: Justin Dunn last only two
innings starting for the Mariners. He
had stiffness in his shoulder which  

landed him on the injury list before. 
Too bad Dunn was looking good. He
gave up one hit and no walks.

Bullpen: Not so good for the most
part though Paul Sewald and Hector
Santiago did a fine job to help the
Mariners gain the victory.

Walk off happen: Peter Fairbanks
Rays reliever trying to close the
game has had a good season but
Thursday night was not his for a
change. He walked Dylan Moore 
on four pitches then Jake Bauers
had a single up the middle. Luis
Torrens who was having a good
day with a home run and double
early tried to lay down a bunt. I
am not sure why he was asked
to bunt the way Fairbanks was 
pitching but the pitch was high
and he popped it up. Shed Long
hit the ball to left field scoring
Dylan Moore to tie the game.

Kyle Seager came in and pinch
hit for Taylor Trammel. Seager
had been given the day off for
the first time this season with
Ty France at third base. Seager
found a hole that drove in Bauers
for the win. Seager had been
struggling at the plate so I am 
sure be back in the lineup on
Friday however if he is not
hitting again maybe this is a
good time for him. 

Friday's game Yusei Kikuchi
will be starting for the Mariners.
Currently he is the ace so looks
good for opportunity to win 
another one.
