Mariners Lose In Extra Innings Again

The Seattle  Mariners  lost to the Chicago 
Cubs in ten innings 3-2.

Luis Castillo pitched  well going six innings.
The Mariners  scored first with a run in
the top of the 4th. The Cubs scored twice
in the bottom  of  the 4th.

Jarred Kelenic  was the player of the game 
for the Mariners, pinch hitting  for AJ Pollock. 
He hit a solo home run  to tie the game in
the 9th letting the game into extra  innings. 

Matt Brash  pitched the 10th inning. It looked 
like he was going to  try to pick off the runner
at second who went to third and Brash  wasn't 
able to catch the runner. The throw was errant.
The runner didn't  go further  on that play. He 
scored on a single.

The main reason the Cubs won was because 
Castillo  and  Brash  had trouble holding  runners.
Flexen starts Tuesday. He will need to do better 
or the Cubs will look at running more.

Kolten  Wong  who didn't start at second did
come in for Haggerty and had a couple hits
including an infield  hit. We have to  see whether 
he gets out of his slump. Go M's.
