been in a four game losing streak they were.
It had to do with poor relief pitching and lack
of offense which seems to be a trade mark
for the Mariners this season.
It didn't help Mike Trout was most of the
LA Angels offense on Tuesday night hitting
two runs with the second one being a three-
run homer in the eighth inning.
Taylor Williams who gave up Trout's
second homer of the night actually threw
him a pretty good pitch on the outside
corner. How Trout was able to pull the
ball for a home run into the upper deck
in left field is hard to explain.
Marco Gonzales gave up three hits in
seven innings. Unfortunately all three
were home runs including Trout's first
home run on the evening.
Besides winning the game 7-6 the highlight
of the game was Kyle Seager's 200th career
home run. It was a three-run homer helping
the Mariners to win the game.
After ending his hitting streak on Monday
Kyle Lewis is back to hitting. Had two more
hits on Wednesday giving him now a two-game
hitting streak.
Thursday's game will be the last against the
Angels at home this season. It is a day game
to allow the Angels to travel. Taijuan Walker
will be pitching for the Mariners. We see he
can match his last outing.
It looks like Kendall Graveman will be out
longer than I thought with the problem of
his neck. He may miss more than two starts.
It is too bad he was looking good on the mound
in his two starts.
