George Kirby First Win

George Kirby went six innings 
without giving up a run in the
Mariners shutout of the Orioles
10-0. He surrendered four hits
while walking one and eight 
strike outs. Kirby got off to a
tough start throwing over twenty
pitches in the first inning. This was 
after Julio Rodriguez hit a double
scoring Ty France. In any park 
besides Camden would have been 
a home run.

The Mariners scored three runs in 
the second inning followed by four
more in the third putting the game 
pretty well out of reach.

The Mariners bottom of the batting
order did most of the damage. Taylor
Trammell had three hits and four RBIs.
Cal Raleigh had three RBIs with one hit.
Both Raleigh and Trammel had sacrifice fly's for one of their RBIs.
Mariners get production out of those
two on a regular basis will certainly
help the Mariners a long ways.

This game was the highest scoring
this season without a home run.
In the eighth inning Julio Rodriguez
called out on a third strike was 
kicked out of the game for taking
his bat and making a mark next
to home plate showing where the
ball was at. On the Mariners TV
broadcast Mike Blowers said a
veteran player would be kicked
out for doing such a thing though
Julio only 21 years old.

The Mariners brought in catcher
Luis Torrens to play  second base
with Julio being thrown out. Sam 
Haggerty pitch hitting for JP 
Crawford went to left and Dylan 
Moore who started in left went to
shortstop. Adam Frazier moved 
to right field and Taylor Trammel
from right to center. 

The Mariners will start Robbie Ray
Wednesday night in the middle
game of the series. We hope Ray
will not have a melt down in one 
inning. If not the Mariners have a 
good chance of winning. 

The Mariners now have a record
of 21-28. They are three and half
games behind Texas Rangers
who have done well having a
record of 24-24. They have gone
12-12 both at home and on the
road. The Mariners take on the
Rangers in Texas Friday thru
Sunday before heading to Houston
next week. If the Mariners can
take two out of three in each of. 
these two series at the very least
will help them going to Houston. 
The Mariners will have three games
in Houston with a day off next
Thursday heading home to play 
the Boston Red Sox.

Kyle Lewis missed Sunday's and
Tuesday's game being under 
concussion prodical. He was hit
in the head in Saturday's game.
If Lewis isn't feeling better tomorrow
and doesn't play he will go on the
concussion injured list which is
seven games. It will be retroactive
to Sunday. Lewis who was called up
after being out for a year is having
tough time now with the concussion.
His leg isn't at full strength as he 
runs the bases at slower speed.
The Mariners can use his bat but
wants him to be careful. Who
will take his spot don't know at
this time. Likely on the way to 
Baltimore in case Lewis goes
on the injured list. Go M's.
