Saturday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels became
another familiar story which has happened too often this season. The game was
tied 2-2 in the top of the 9th inning.
Roenis Elias who came into the game in the 9th inning;
Kole Calhoun walked then with two outs then Luis Rengifo hit an infield popup
which neither Elias or first baseman Tim Beckham could catch. Originally it was
listed as an error but was changed to a single. It doesn’t really matter other
than effecting Elias ERA.
David Fletcher hit a single to score Calhoun from third base.
Now came up Mike Trout who the Mariners continue to allow hit had a ball leave
the park for a three-run homer. So instead of going to the bottom of the 9th
inning still tied at 2-2 the Angels led and won 6-2.
What more can we say about the Mariner’s season so far? They
continue losing games they should win or at least stay in to win at least.
Now the Mariners will have to see if they can win the series
on Sunday over the Angels. Yusei Kikuchi goes for the Mariners. As we know
anything goes when it comes to Mariner’s pitching. The best answer would be
Kikuchi could match what Mike Leake did on Friday night.
The best news of the day happens before the game when Edgar
Martinez enters the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York. A day we
will remember the rest of our lives. Sort of like the day he hit a double
scoring Joey Cora and Ken Griffey, Jr. to beat the New York Yankees in 1995. It
is only fitting Junior will be welcoming Edgar in.
