Wednesday night the Seattle Mariners beat the Yankees big time 10-1. This was good after blowing Tuesday's game.
Yusei Kikuchi pitched his second great game after only pitching one inning. It sounds like this is a good formula for Kikuchi. He pitched into the 6th inning before the Yankees were able to get a hit. It would have been exciting if he had pitched a no-hitter since it was the anniversary of James Paxton's when he threw one last year in Toronto. Paxton to was supposed to pitch Wednesday night against the Mariners however went on the ten-day injured list.
The Mariners were able to score five runs before the Yankees got to Kikuchi in the sixth inning. Kikuchi went seven and two-thirds innings giving up just three hits. He walked one batter and struck out three. Reliever Cory Gearrin finished the eighth inning giving up a hit and then striking the final batter. Connor Sadzeck pitched the 9th inning for the Mariners giving up just one hit.
The Mariners had three home runs in the game. Edwin Encarnacion hit a solo homer in the 5th inning, Ryon Healy a two-run homer in the 6th inning and Mitch Haniger a solo home run in the 9th inning. Healy had a great game hitting three doubles besides the home run. He is the second Mariner player ever to do so. The other was Ken Griffey Jr.
Mike Leake will be facing former Mariner J.A. Happ in the final game of the series Thursday night. Lineup not shown yet. Something unusual will update.
