allowed the Boston Red Sox do their thing as
they had done in the previous five games.
The Mariners had their opportunities early on
in the game though did score two runs in the
first inning right after Boston scored three.
Second inning Julio Rodriguez had a two-run
The Sox scored two more in the fifth to take
over the lead once again. The Mariners
tied in the seventh when Abraham Toro
drove in a run with a hit.
The Red Sox hit a home run off of Paul
Sewald in the top of the 9th. It looked
doom with Toro coming up again with
two outs. JP Crawford was on base when
Toro hit a blooper in dead man's land in
right field to score Crawford to tie the game.
Sam Haggerty pinch run for Suarez. Dylan
Moore was up to bat. He hadn't delivered
much this year in key situations. The
Mariners had tied so knew the worst
they would go into extra innings, however,
Moore had other ideas. He hit a line drive
far enough away from the center fielder
couldn't catch it though dove for it. Haggerty
scored the winning run.
George Kirby who started the game went
five innings surrendering five runs, however,
only three were earned because of an error
by JP Crawford early on. The bullpen did
a good job. Besides the home run given up
by Sewald in the 9th they only surrendered
only one other hit in four innings. This is
the bullpen the Mariners were hoping for
when the season began. Ken Giles is
expected to come off injured list while
pitching in the minor leagues right now.
Drew Steckenrider was designated for
assignment. This to make room on the
40-man roster. Another team could pick
him up or he stays in Tacoma.
Final Seattle 7 Boston 6
Prospect #16 Cade Marlowe left hitting
outfielder who won the Ken Griffey Jr.
Award as the best hitter in the Mariners
system last year. This year Marlowe is
struggling at double-A Arkansas where
he is hitting .219. See how he does
from here. With the depth of outfielders
on the Mariners his best shot is at being
the fourth or fifth outfielder. Would not
be surprised the Mariners end up trading
him.
Next time look at number 17 prospect.
