Seattle Mariners Bats Come Alive Still Lose



After taking a few days off the Seattle
Mariners bats came alive unfortunately
the pitching gave up too many runs.

The Mariners scored two runs in the
first inning then the LA Dodgers had
a run in the inning too.

Justin Dunn didn't have it Monday night
lasting only two innings. In the second
inning he gave up five runs including a
three-run homer to Corey Seager Kyle's 
brother.  

The lead didn't last long as the Mariners
scored five runs get the lead back 7-6.
Kyle Lewis and Kyle Seager had back to
back home runs then Evan White had his
first of two in the third as well.

The Mariners scored another run in the 4th
inning to increase the lead to 8-6. This lasted
until the bottom of the seventh when the
Dodgers scored five runs off of Seattle 
reliever Matt Magill. making it Dodger
lead 11-8.  Evan White hit his second 
homer of the evening for the final score
11-9.

The Mariners had opportunities to score
especially in the 9th inning to tie or win
the game unfortunately Daniel Vogelbach
popped up the last out of the game to
right field. To be honest I don't know why
the Mariners didn't pinch hit for Vogelbach.
He continues to struggle at the plate.

Until this game Matt Magill had been
pitching really well not giving up a single
run until this game. I would say most of
the time with Magill in the game the 
Mariners would have won.

The Mariners play a late afternoon game
on Tuesday against the Dodgers again
before coming home to play them twice
in Seattle. Marco Gonzales starts this
game for the Mariners we hope he can
end this six-game losing streak. Go M's.
