Mariner Sweep A's

Mariners 5 A's 1

The Mariners climbed within one game 
in the standings to the A's. Chris Flexen 
pitched six and two-thirds. He gave the
 one run in the first inning. Drew 
Steckenrider came in got the final out 
in the seventh on one pitch. He pitched
 the final two innings. Mariner's have 
Wednesday off so good to have the 
bullpen rested.

The Mariners scored a run in the second 
followed by two in the third. It stayed
 that way until the 8th when the Mariners
 scored two more making it hard on the A's.

The bottom of the order did a fine job. 
Luis Torrens, Tom Murphy and Jarred 
Kelenic each had two hits with Torrens 
and Kelenic driving in two runs. Each
 scored a run along with Seager and
 Abraham Toro. Dylan Moore drove in
 a run to.

The Mariners have a four game series 
against the Kansas City Royals beginning 
on Thursday night.  Yusei Kikuchi will
 start.  Hopefully he can rebound after 
having a bad outing. This will be the first
 time playing the Royals this season. In 
September play the Royals on the road. 
Go M's.
