Saturday night beating the Angels
once again on the road 5-3.
Takeaways: The Mariners once
again walked Mike Trout this time
in the 9th inning. Not in easy task
as Ohtani came up as the winning
run. Ohtani hit a massive home run
in the third inning. Erik Swanson
was able to get Ohtani out on high
inside pitch to pop out to right field.
The Mariners scored first with Julio Rodriguez hitting a home run in the first inning. The Angels scored a
run in the 4th inning after Ohtani's
in the 3rd.
The Mariners scored three more runs
in the sixth inning primarily because
of an error. Final run was in the seventh.
Cal Raleigh had a good game having
three hits including two doubles
however the Mariners couldn't cash
in. It is nice to see how well Raleigh
is at the plate as well as behind it.
Logan Gilbert had another good
night of pitching giving up three
runs in five and two-thirds innings.
Two runs were by homers.
The bullpen did a fine job once
again. It seems the Mariners have
a bullpen again they can count
on. Penn Murfee who has been
outstanding since being called
out was able to get the final out
of the sixth inning.
Lefty Borucki who pitched Friday
night pitched the seventh inning
giving up just one hit. He has been
a pleasant surprise so far. For the
Toronto Blue Jays he was a starter
But the Mariners have been able
to count on him being the primary
lefty out of the bullpen. The Mariners
have veteran Tommy Milone to come
out of the bullpen as a lefty too.
Most likely see him pitch Sunday if
needed.
Diego Castillo who has pitched well
as of late pitched the eighth before
Swanson in the 9th. Interesting how
the Mariners use Castillo. In the
same manner as Sewald we can see
him any inning between seven and
nine depending where the lineup is
for the opposing team.
Now we see whether the Mariners
sweep the Angels and the road trip
on Sunday. Whatever the case the
Mariners will take at least five of six.
The Mariners currently in third
place in the division however staying
there will depend whether they win
Sunday or not.
In football the story is the Seahawks
are still interested in quarterback
Baker Mayfield. A story won't end for
now. You could say the media has
to write about something. Keep you
up to date if he does come to Seattle.
