Francisco Giants Tuesday and Wednesday
in San Francisco. The Giants like the
Mariners have done well lately. Like the
Mariners they are in third place as well
in the National League West. They do
have a better record at 21-21 while the
Mariners are 19-22. Looking for a good
series though brief.
Ljay Newsome will be making his second
start for the Mariners. It has been a while
his last start was on August 27. He hasn't
pitched for a while primarily with the series
against the Oakland A's was postponed.
In his first start for the Mariners he went
four innings. He looked good giving up
just one run on a homer. In his two app-
earances as a Mariner he hasn't walked
a batter. His first appearance out of the
bullpen he gave up one run a homer as
well going three inning.
Newsome is showing he does go after
the hitters with good control. The chances
he does give up some home runs. The key
like any pitcher is not to have runners on
base. Since he doesn't walk many the other
team has to get hits before someone gets a
home run.
This series we hope the pitching stays well
as it has recently with some offense along
the way.
