The Seattle Mariners looked like they were
going to win the game Thursday afternoon,
however, it wasn't meant to be. The Mariners
were leading 4-1 after two innings, but the
Giants scored two runs in the sixth inning,
and three more in the seventh inning.
Kendall Graveman had pitched since coming
off the injured list and put into the bullpen.
Thursday wasn't one of those good days for
him. He gave up the three runs in the seventh
inning to record the loss.
The Mariners are now 22-28 with ten games
remaining on the season. The Mariners were
expected to play this weekend series in Seattle,
however, the air quality is still such major league
baseball decided to move the series to San Diego.
The Mariners will still be the home team.
The Mariners are now three games behind the
Houston Astros so time is running out to make
the playoffs. The Mariners do play the Astros
in a three game series next Monday thru Wednesday.
It is possible the Mariners can still make the playoffs
by beating the Astros in that series.
The series against the Astros is scheduled in Seattle,
we hope the air quality will be much better to play
the series in Seattle. The Mariners have played better
at home this season than on the road even when
considered the home team.
It will be good to see Austin Nola catching for the
Padres. For many of us we haven't seen him play
since the Mariners traded him at trading deadline
on August 31.
Yusei Kikuchi starts Friday night against the Padres.
The Mariners will need a good start out of Kikuchi.
He pitched well in his last outing after getting off
to a rough start. The Mariners can't afford him to
do the same tonight.
It is interesting to see the Mariners in the playoff
picture in September. It hasn't happened often
in the last 19 years. Being six games under .500
normally they wouldn't be in the pictures but
because of a shorten season they are. Go M's.
