Angels Take Series

Thursday afternoon the Mariners played the
final game against the LA Angels at home.

Taijuan Walker pitched for the home team
Mariners. Unfortunately he didn't have the
same outing as his previous one.

The Angels took the series two games to one
so they are tied 3-3 on the series. The Mariners
will have a final series later on in Anaheim.

For some reason the Mariners play the Angels
better on the road than at home.  They aren't
the only team that works out that way.

The final score was 6-1. Amazing thing Mike
Trout had only one hit on the day. Japanese
sensation Ohtani hit a three run homer in the
fourth inning to break open the game.

The Mariners only run was a home run by
dh Daniel Vogelbach his first of the season
in the fourth inning. By the way, it was his
only hit of the game. He is batting .125 on
the season so far.

The rosters were reduced to 28 on Thursday 
so the Mariners sent Bryan Shaw and Jose
Marmolejos back to alternate training camp.

At least we know the opposition won't hit a
lot and score a lot against Shaw. It will allow
the Mariners to be in closer games though 
Thursday wasn't one of them. 

The Mariners finish off the home stand over
the weekend against the Colorado Rockies.
The Rockies seem to have the Mariners number
in recent years. We hope the Mariners can turn
it around.

Next Monday they will start a three game series
in Texas against the Rangers followed by the final
time in Houston against the Astros next weekend.
The finish the road trip playing two against the
LA Dodgers before coming home to take on the 
Dodgers again for two.
