Nick Margevicius n his second starting game in
the place of Kendall Graveman pitched a wonderful
game. He made only a few mistakes and without
an offense to back him up recorded the loss.
Margevicius went six innings giving up two runs
on four hits, no walks and striking out three.
The Mariners were only able to muster one run on
three hits. Evan White had a home run in the eighth
inning to give the Mariners any hope in winning.
The other two hits were by Kyle Seager and Austin
Nola, unfortunately they weren't back to back.
Justus Sheffield will start Sunday afternoon to
see whether the Mariners can scratch out a win
in this series before heading to LA to face the
Dodgers which won't make life any easier on
this young ball club.
The trading deadline is August 31 so you wonder
if Jerry Dipoto will be active in acquiring talent
or a player to help in September and beyond.
Dee Gordon would be one player to trade but his
batting average is terrible so what will the Mariners
get for him. He will have an option year after this
one so the Mariners will likely pay him off.
Mallex Smith having another terrible season after
the Mariners acquired him from the Tampa Bay
Rays before the 2019 for Mike Zunino. It looks
like he needs to find another home. I won't think
the Mariners get much for him either.
The Mariners may try to trade some other players
who might have better value but we will have to
see.
