of series against the Toronto Blue Jay's
8-3. This helps winning the opening game
of a four game series.
Takeaways: foremost the Mariners are
now back at even on the season at 42-42.
The thought would be here at the all-star
break and they are ahead of schedule.
The main thing is keep on rolling.
Marco Gonzales pitched well into the
seventh inning though he couldn't
complete it. He gave up the three runs
and left two runners on base with two
outs. Good thing Marco didn't give up a
home run to the power Blue Jay's. He
didn't walk a batter though no strike outs
either.
Offensively the Mariners had three home
runs by Dylan Moore, Cal Raleigh and Eugenio
Suarez. Both Raleigh and Suarez each had
two hits and drove in three runs. Raleigh
average is now .202. Quite a leap from
where he was. He is the Mariners catcher
until proven different. Suarez has increased
going up to now .240. We will take that to
for sure. We can't forget Ty France back in
the lineup at dh. He got a hit in his first at
bat.
In the NHL draft the Seattle Kraken had
a surprise. Shane Wright expected to be
number one pick by Montreal was still
available when the Kraken drafted at 4.
We will see in the future whether Canadians
made a big mistake or not and the other
two teams ahead of the Kraken made a
mistake to. Day two of the NHL draft will
take place on Friday. I am sure how the
Kraken did taking Wright in the first round
will make a difference in the rest of the draft.
Will other players fall down to for the Kraken
to change what they expected. How will they
do anything different in signing free agents
as well. Does Wright make the opening day
roster or not. Stay tuned.
