Justin Dunn got off to a rough start
Monday night, however, he was able
to weather the storm.
He led off walking former Mariner
Shin-Soo Choo, designated hitter
Will Calhoun hit a triple to score
Choo. The Mariners tied it in the
top of the third with Dan Vogelbach
hitting a double then scored on a
hit by Dylan Moore. The Rangers
took the lead with another rbi by
Calhoun making it 2-1.
Kyle Lewis decided not to mess
around by hitting a three-run
homer in the fifth inning. Thought
this might be enough but we know
can't count on the bullpen so Kyle
Seager hit a grand slam home run
in the sixth inning. Dylan Moore
who had three hits on the night
hit a home run himself to finalize
the score at 10-2.
Dunn ended up going six inning
giving up the two runs on seven
hits while walking three and striking
out two. He was able to go long
enough to record his first major
league victory.
The Mariners had fifteen hits on
the night with every batter getting
at least one hit. I was thinking
wouldn't be nice to save some of
those hits and runs for another
day but we know it never works
that way.
The Mariners are still in fourth
place five and a half games behind
the division leading Oakland A's.
With a win Tuesday night the
Mariners would move into third
place ahead of the Rangers.
Marco Gonzales will make his
fourth start of the season. He has
a 2-1 record with 3.06 era. We
hope the Mariners can continue
their hot hitting in Texas. Certainly
the Rangers new ball park shows
favor to the Mariner hitters for sure.
Go M's.
