The Seattle Mariners were able to score two runs in the
bottom of the 9th inning to beat the Oakland A’s 4-3.
The A’s started the scoring with Marcus Semien leading-off
the game with a home run. The Mariners tied the game in the bottom of the first
inning. The Mariners took the lead in the third inning scoring one run. The
score stayed 2-1 until the seventh inning when the A’s first baseman Matt Olson
hit a two-run homer making it 3-2.
The Mariners were able to get three hits, and two runs off of
A’s closer Liam Hendricks in the bottom of the 9th including JP
Crawford’s walk-off double scoring Shed Long for the winning run.
Justus Sheffield pitched five innings giving up only the one
run in the first inning. He gave up five hits and four walks so he did have to
go through some adversity. He was followed by Brandon Brennan for the second
day in a row pitching the sixth inning.
Zach Grotz gave up the first hit followed by Taylor Guilbeau
who gave up the two-run homer to Olson. Anthony Bass came in to finish off the
seventh inning without giving up a hit. Erik Swanson who has pitched well since
going into the bullpen pitched the 8th inning followed by Art
Warren. Both Swanson and Warren look like two guys who may have a spot in the
Mariner bullpen next season. The same may go for Bass as well as Brennan.
Marco Gonzales who lost in his last outing on Sunday 2-1
against the Orioles will be pitching Saturday for the Mariners. The last game of
the season on Sunday Justin Dunn will start the game for the Mariners. He likely
will go two innings to finish the season off. Depending on his pitch count the
Mariners may decide to have him go further. Go M’s.
