local television. The Mariners won 4-3 over
the Cincinnati Reds.
Nick Margevicius started the game going three
innings. He struggled though showed some good
signs too. Margevicius gave two runs on
five hits through the first three innings.
Justin Dunn pitched the next three innings
giving up one run however it was unearned
because of an error. He gave up one hit at
the same time walked one batter. Dunn
has struggled walking batters so one in
three innings is a good sign.
Margevicius and Dunn are competing for
the sixth spot in the rotation. Dunn has
the advantage he is a right handed pitcher.
The Mariners already have four lefties in
the rotation already so unless he does real
well I am sure Dunn will have the spot
over Margevicius who is a lefty.
Margevicius will likely be coming out of
the bullpen since the starters will have to
stretch out further in the beginning of the
season. He will be available to start as
well if one of the starters goes out or is
not performing well.
Margevicius and Dunn likely would both
been in the rotation if the Mariners had not
signed James Paxton as a free agent. Speak
of Paxton he hasn't made an appearance yet
on the season. I am sure the Mariners taking
easy on him to be sure he is ready to go when
the season begins.
Though the Mariners scored four runs they
only had three hits on the night. The Mariners
didn't have a lot of regulars in the game but
Tom Murphy was the only one with a hit.
The other two hits were by backups.
The Mariners are back to another afternoon
game taking on the Colorado Rockies on
Saturday. This game will be televised locally
as well. Marco Gonzales is expected to
make his second start of the spring. Go M's.
