Marco Loses Despite Pitching Well

Sunday afternoon the Mariners
lost to Astros in final game of
series despite Marco Gonzales
having another outstanding 
pitching out. 

Marco gave up two runs on the 
day. Giving up the second run
in the eight inning. He went seven 
and one thirds innings. Paul Sewald 
game in to finish off the eighth
inning. 

Marco had a good month of May
going 36 and 2/3 innings in six
appearances. He gave up only
14 runs in those innings. Unfort-
unately Marco had a record of
2-3 in May. I expect he does about
the same in June he will be much
better. 

Mike Ford dh instead of Kyle Lewis.
The Mariners gave Lewis the day 
off. Late in the game in two appearances Ford struck out once
and walked once to load the bases
in the 9th. Luis Torrens catching
and following Ford drove in the lone
run in the sixth inning but ended the
game hitting into a double play. I
have to be honest I wondered why
Ford was not pinch hit in eiter the
two appearances. The Mariners may
have won the game otherwise. I can
think Lewis was not able to hit and
the other players on the pinch were
not any better than Ford.

Mariners have Monday off with George Kirby starting Tuesday in Baltimore. He will be followed by Robbie Ray and Chris Flexen to finish the series.

We will see what the Mariners may do on their day off as far as any moves.
The team left Seattle after Sunday's
game for Baltimore. Go M's.
