Mariners Beat Cardinals

The Mariners beat St Louis Cardinal
5-2 in opening game of series. It 
ended the three game losing streak.

The Cardinals actually scored their 
two runs on a double by right fielder
Jordan Walker in the second. The
 Mariners hsd their first run in the
second inning to.

The Mariners tied the game in the 
4th inning on a Teoscar Hernandez 
home run. Hernandez had a double
in the sixth inning and scored three
times in the game.

AJ Pollock though only had one hit
at dh in the sixth but drove in two
of the three runs that inning. Jarred
Kelenic who started against a lefty
drove in two runs with one on a 
sacrifice fly.

George Kirby started and pitched six
innings. Gave up the two runs on three 
hits. He didn't give up a walk and struck
out five batters. Kirby will win a lot of 
games pitching this way. The bullpen
pitched lights out giving up no hits in
three innings. Paul Sewald has five 
saves already.

Sam Haggerty is expected to be
activated Saturday off the concussion
list. Who he replaces will see. Dylan
Moore is expected to be out longer after
going on rehab assignment but
supposed to see the doctor who
did his off-season surgery.

Luis Castillo  is scheduled  to
pitch Saturday which we hope
is another Mariners win.
