Mariners Lose Final Game of Series

I am sure most everyone have heard
about the bench brawl in the second 
inning of the Mariners  loss to the
Angels  Sunday afternoon. The final 
Angels 2 Mariners  1

Takeaways: Jesse Winker  was hit by 
a pitch in the second inning by opener
starter Wentz who ended up being tossed
from the game as well as Angels  manager
Phil Nevin.

Things would have been OK since Winker 
was heading  to  first base, however,  third
baseman Anthony Rendon said something 
toward Winker who ended up going toward
the Angels bench. Rendon who is on the
injured list was on the Angels bench. In
my opinion major league  baseball  should 
not allow someone  who  is on the injured
list to be in the dugout. 

The Angels had two other players kicked out
of the game as well  as Winker the Mariners 
lossed Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford as well. 
Manager Scott Servais  was ejected to. 

We should  expect some heavy fines coming
down from major league  baseball along with 
suspensions. Phil Nevin said in his post game
comments that is just baseball and tensions 
got headed.  If this were the case  why did Wentz
start the game and Suarez the original  named
starter came in after Wentz was tossed. 
Fortunately  no players were injured. 

The Mariners scored their only run in the sixth
inning when Abraham Toro  hit a home run.  Toro
didn't start the game but came in for JP Crawford 
when he was ejected. Toro played second base
and Dylan Moore  moved to  shortstop. Adam Frazier 
came in for Winkler and  Taylor Trammell for Julio.
The Angels  had no starting position players tossed
from the game as the Mariners had three. 

The Angels  scored their two runs in the seventh inning.
Mariners  starter Marco Gonzales pitched well  going 
into seventh  inning recorded the loss.

The Mariners  now come home to  play  the  Baltimore 
Orioles for three games  followed by four with the Oakland
A's. We will  have to see what Mariner players will be available.
