Mariners Win Series Over Angels

The Mariners had a successful series
over the Los Angeles Angels on the
weekend though the Angels beat them
big on Saturday. The importance is
winning as many series as possible.

The Mariners shut out the Angels

2-0. Both teams had five hits on

the day. The Mariners started to 

have the bottom of the batting order

starting to hit against the Angels in

this series.

Dylan Moore, JP Crawford and Luis

Torrens each had one hit in the game.

Moore drove in Seager in the fourth

inning while Torrens scored on a 

sacrifice fly from Mitch Haniger

in the 5th inning. 

The important thing is at least one

player from the batting order can

do something to have the Mariners

score at least one run. They can let

the upper half of the lineup do the

rest.

Justus Sheffield went six innings 

giving up only two hits. He did 

have three walks fortunately the

Angels didn't take advantage of

it.

Will Vest came in the seventh inning

gave up two hits along with two outs.

Lefty Anthony Misiewicz came in

threw one pitch to get final out of

the inning to stop the Angels.

Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero

pitched the eighth and ninth innings.

Right now it looks for the Mariners

manager Scott Servais is putting in 

who he thinks will get the job done

in the eighth inning. Though Montero

is called the closer he has pitched the

eighth inning as well. Whatever he is

doing the bullpen is doing a good job

more than we expected.

News came out Casey Sadler going

on the injured list and Erik Swanson

is being brought up for the second time

on the season. Not sure what is happening

but the Mariners need to do something

about these guys having arm trouble.

It could be the lack of pitching last season.

Not sure who will start on Monday night 

for the Mariners. This was the spot for

Marco Gonzales before he went on the

injured list. Most likely the bullpen will

take the pitching for the most part.  

The Mariners are now 16-13 heading 

into the Baltimore series Monday. They

are one game behind the Oakland A's

who have gone 5-5 in their last ten games.

The Mariners don't face the A's until the

very end of May and the beginning of

June.

After the series against Baltimore the

Mariners will take on the Texas Rangers

next weekend in Arlington, Texas.

They will have next Monday off before

Taking on the LA Dodgers in a two-game

series before returning home to play 

Cleveland. 

We hope success for the Mariners especially

against the Orioles and Rangers as they

are both on the bottoms of their divisions.

Go M's.
