9-3 in final game Thursday
afternoon.
Takeaways: The offense played
a lot of small ball. It looked exciting.
Sam Haggerty was recalled from
Tacoma for the second time. He
started in right field. Kevin Pablo
was sent down. Haggerty had a bunt
single in his first at bat. The ball was
thrown away so runner scored from
second base. JP Crawford had a swinging bunt to score to. He laughed
standing at first. The Mariners scored
three runs. Later they scored four runs.
Scott Servais was so happy in his
press conference because they had
three sac flies. Something had trouble
with all season. The Mariners can do
that the rest of the way have more
success.
The only long ball was by Julio Rodriguez who hit a ball into
the second deck. Didn't take long
to get there.
Chris Flexen went six innings giving up the three runs. Erik Swanson, Ken Giles and Penn Murfee each pitched an inning. Only Murfee gave up a hit.
Nice to see the Mariners win the series
after getting off to poor start in the
opening game. The Mariners also brought up outfielder Marcus Wilson
making his major debut. Most likely
Haggerty and Wilson will platoon
in right field for now. Wilson pinch
hit for Haggerty in the eight inning
and he drew a walk. Taylor Trammel
as expected was put on the injured
list.
The Mariners now have a four game
series against Oakland beginning
on Friday. Hopefully the Mariners
will win three out of four at least.
The Mariners are now tied for third
with the Angels at 36-41. Logan
Gilbert will start Friday for the
Mariners.
