Sunday was one of those games where neither team deserves to
win because the pitching was horrible.
Justus Sheffield started off well for the Mariners. I am not sure why Servais left him in the
game as long as he did. Servais should have taken him out sooner.
The Mariners scored first in the fourth inning then the
Chicago White Sox responded big in the fifth inning scoring eight runs. Six of
the runs applied to Sheffield while Brandon Brennan relieving for him gave up
the other two runs. The White Sox got two more in the sixth inning making the
lead 10-5.
I am sure most Mariner fans thought it was over for the team
and another loss recorded. Kyle Lewis has been on a rampage since being called up a
week ago decided it wasn’t over and hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning.
The Mariners scored two other runs to tie the game 10-10 going into the ninth
inning.
Reliever Austin Adams came in the 9th inning and
struck out the side. So could the Mariners scored one run to win instead of
going into extra innings? The Mariners were able to load the bases with Dee
Gordon put on intentionally. Tom Murphy
was able to work the count to 3-2 before being walked bringing in Braden Bishop
who had pinched run for Austin Nola. So we could say it was truly a walk-off
win for the Mariners.
The Mariners now have Monday off while traveling to
Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates for three games. It is followed next weekend with three games in
Baltimore against the Orioles. The Mariners should have a winning record on
this final road trip of the season. They
come home than to finish the season facing the Houston Astros in two games and
the Oakland A’s in four. So you add it up the Mariners have 12 games remaining
in the season.
Marco Gonzales will be going on Tuesday after his 16th
win on the season followed by Justin Dunn making his second start for the
Mariners. He will be followed by Tommy Milone. We hope Dunn will not be so
nervous this time. The series finally we will see Yusei Kikuchi for the
Mariners.
Domingo Santana is expected to see action on this road trip
after being out because of his right shoulder. He likely will start at
designated hitter on Tuesday. Go M’s.
Other good news, the Huskies, Cougars, and the Seahawks all
won over the weekend. The Huskies are now 2-1, Cougars 3-0 and the Seahawks
2-0.
