Mariners Now One and One

The Seattle Mariners won the opener on
Thursday night 8-7 after being behind
5-0. The Giants showed they couldn't
keep hold of the lead.

Friday night it became the opposite

though the Giants didn't have as far

to go to win. 

The Mariners had a 3-1 lead then 

Yusei Kikuchi gave up his second 

homer of the night in the sixth inning

for the Giants to tie 3-3. 

Kikuchi pitched well going thru six

innings. Besides the three runs he 

walked only one batter while striking

out ten. Pitching that way he will 

have a good season especially if

he can cut down on the home runs.

Drew Steckenrider made his first

appearance for the Mariners. It didn't

go well with him giving up three 

runs in the sixth inning. The Mariners

were unable to comeback not getting

anymore runs in the game so final

Giants 6 Mariners 3

I hope Steckenrider won't have another

performance like this one anymore for

a while anyway. Right now the question 

still the bullpen. 

The Mariners had 12 batters strike out

in the game with Taylor Trammell and

Dylan Moore each striking out three times.

Trammell still looking for his first hit.

Playing good center field though.

So Saturday night is the rubber match of

the season. Chris Flexen makes his first

appearance for the Mariners in a regular

season game. Logan Webb goes for the

Giants. Webb looks like someone the

Mariners should get hits off. Of course,

we have heard that one before.

Kendall Graveman is the only reliever 

not seeing action in either game so far.

I expect to see him in Saturday night's

game. 

Hopefully, the batters can hit well

so make it an easy win. Go M's.
