Seattle Mariners 10 Minnesota 0
Player of the Game: Chris FlexenFlexen pitched his best game for
the Mariners and in his major
league career going eight innings
giving up only four hits, no walks
and striking out eight. Along the
way he saved the bullpen as well.
Other key players: JP Crawford
hit a home run on the very first
pitch in the bottom of the first.
The Mariners added on four more
in the second. Crawford continues
hitting well having three hits on
the day.
Ty France had three hits on the
day including a home run in the
8th inning to finish the Mariners
scoring on the night. Jake Bauers
had three hits as well as he continues
to hit well since being acquired by
the Mariners. Bauers again played
right field with Mitch Haniger on
the bench for the second straight
game after a hit off his knee took
him out of Sunday's game.
Luis Torrens and Shed Long both
had two hits on the night at the
bottom of the batting order. Torrens
dh in his first game back after being
called up on Monday. It included a
home run in the 7th inning. Long
had a triple that cleared the bases
in the second inning. He scored to
on a wild pitch.
Transactions: The Mariner traded
righthanded reliever Yacksel Rios
who had made only a few appearances
for the Mariners after being traded
by the Tampa Bay Rays was shipped
to the Boston Red Sox for cash
considerations. Also, traded international
player shortstop Andres Mesa to finish
the trade during the off-season for
Rafael Montero with Texas Rangers.
I am sure some Mariner fans wouldn't
have minded if Montero had been
traded back to Texas. lol
Other local sports news. Jamal Adams
is missing mandatory camp for personal
reasons. Adams will be going into his
last season on his contract so negotiations
will go forward to extend him. Won't be
easy since Adams will be asking for being
one of the top if not the top paying safety
in the NFL. I can't blame the guy for one
thing the Seahawks did trade three first
round draft picks for him.
