Mariners End Streaks

 Rangers 7 Mariners 3

Takeaway: The Seattle Mariners ended
a three-game winning streak along with
winning 13 games in a row against the
Rangers at home. You could say it was
bound to happen though it would have
tied a team record against a team had
the Mariners swept the Rangers.

Starting pitching: Marco Gonzales has

had a tough season especially of late.

This is his first start back after missing

one because birth of his daughter. Marco

lasted only three and a third innings. 

He gave up three home runs including 

two to John Hicks. If you wonder why

you may remember him he was a backup

catcher for the Mariners briefly in 2015.

He went on to play for the Tigers where

he played some first base well as catcher.

Hicks recently was called up from the

Rangers triple-A ball club. 

The 3rd inning was tough because not 

only did Marco give up four runs the

Mariners actually had the bases loaded

with no outs but could only get one 

across the plate and it was a walk. At

that point Mariners still had a chance,

however, Marco gave up two more home

runs including Hicks second one to end

his time for the night.

The Mariners had a home run from Kyle

Seager in the fifth inning and scored another

in the eighth. The Mariners had Rafael

Montero pitched for two and two-thirds

innings. Montero who has been struggling

on the mound to say the least pitched well.

A good time to look into getting his game

back in hand. Also, Yohan Ramirez recently

called up pitched three innings. Both Montero

and Ramirez each gave up only one hit each.

Now the Mariners see Sunday 4th of July 

they can win the series in afternoon game.

Nice day to go to a game for sure. Chris

Flexen who struggled in his last outing though

pitched well before then goes for the Mariners

on Sunday. We hope he gets back on track.

Go M's.
