Mariners Sweep the Rangers

The Mariners beat the Rangers 6-2 making it 14 straight wins. This was
the longest winning streak heading 
into the all-star break in major league
history. Quite the deal for sure.

The Mariners find a way to win whether
pretty or not. Several minutes before 
the game it was announced Ty France
is going to the all star game in place 
of Mike Trout. A bit of irony right. 

The Mariners showed why they are 
the team right now where all the
players gave France a hug. They 
knew he belonged. Next Friday
the banner for next year's all-star
game will be unveiled. This tream
does have some reminders of the
2001 team when had the last one.

Chris Flexen started this one going
three and two-thirds giving up a 
run in the third. The Mariners used
five relievers giving up the second.
Matt Brash had a little trouble allowing
the run but able to get out of it.

One of the reasons the Mariners have
done well is the relievers coming in
after the starters have done well. If
the Mariners have had any trouble
the offense picks them up.

Every hitter had a hit except Carlos Santana and JP Crawford. They both
have done well lately so can excuse
them this time.

Major league draft is going on right now. The Mariners have the number 21 pick in the first round Sunday night. 
Let you know who  they pick later.
Monday will be rounds 2 thru 10 and Tuesday 11 thru 20. Ryan Rowland-Smith will be there to announce the
Mariners picks. The draft to is taking
place in Los Angeles. Go Mariners!
