Yusei and the Mariners

The Seattle Mariners were shut out
Monday against the Cleveland Indians
10-0. Yusei Kikuchi had his second
start of the spring. So far he has done
well in spring training.

Kikuchi needs to have a good season
if he expects to have a major league
career to continue. Next year will be
his option year so he and the Mariners
are hoping for a good year.

Kikuchi went three inning giving up
two hits and a run. The run happened
in the third inning when he gave up a
home run.  It was the relievers who
gave up the other nine runs on the day.

The Mariners hitting only got four hits
on the day which isn't a surprise since
they did get shut out. 

Some of the starting position players
like Haniger, Seager, White and Moore
were in the lineup while other players
trying to make the ball club started as 
well. Evan White is struggling at the 
plate. Hopefully he will figure things
out before the season starts.

Ljay Newsome will make his second
start of spring against the Kansas City
Royals on Tuesday. Newsome is a starter
he will be at the backend of the rotation.
He will probably either be in the bullpen
or start the season in Tacoma. Last 
September he showed why he should be
in the majors however the Mariners have 
a good rotation.
