but the Mariners were able to squeak out a
victory. They beat Oakland the second
straight night 4-3. Mariners and the A's
have an afternoon game Wednesday then
come home to play the Rangers in a four
game series.
Logan Gilbert made his third start and
went four innings. Gilbert is on a pitch
count so why he didn't go further. Gilbert
gave up two runs on four hits. He struck
out four as well without a walk. On the TV
broadcast mentioned Gilbert was throwing
too many fastballs; must rely on his breaking
pitches specially the slider more often. Maybe
we see that in his next outing.
The Mariners used four relievers on the day.
Only JT Chargois gave up a run in the 8th
inning. Lefty Anthony Misiewicz finished
off the 8th with a walk and a strike out. He
still doesn't look right and Mitch Haniger
saved the day with a great running catch.
JP Crawford continues hitting well having
three on the day and playing stellar defense.
Ty France had a couple hits. Interesting the
Mariners are playing better ball with him
back in the lineup. Jarred Kelenic had a
couple hits as well. He is hitting the ball
hard. After having Sunday off he is doing
quite nicely.
The Tacoma Rainiers are 10-8 heading to
Reno to finish the Month of May. Cal Raleigh
is hitting .394 in his last eight games. We
hope to see him in Tacoma in a month or
so.
Julio Rodriguez is hitting .325 for Everett
with five home runs and 15 runs batted in.
The Aquasox are tied in first place with a
record of 13-6. Emerson Hancock has started
three games going nine innings with 0.96
era. I am sure they will start increasing his
innings and pitch count. George Kirby has
started two games going eight and two-thirds
innings with a 3.12 era. Keep an eye on these
guys throughout the season.
