Mariners 3 Rangers 1
Rangers was similar to Tuesday's
where the Mariners scored early
then had to hold on.
Kyle Seager who loves hitting in
Texas had a two-run homer in the
first inning with Mitch Haniger
who walked. Stayed this way until
the seventh when the Rangers had
back to back doubles against Erik
Swanson to score a run. In the top
of the eighth Mariners responded
with Jarred Kelenic walk, double
by Cal Raleigh and a sacrifice fly
by JP Crawford.
Marco Gonzales went five and a
third innings giving up six hits,
one walk while striking out three.
At that point he had thrown 92
pitches. Manager Scott Servais
said after the game Marco wasn't
going to throw back to back
complete even if he wanted to.
The Mariners used five relievers
on the night. Outside of Swanson's
two doubles given up the other
four relievers didn't give up a hit.
After the little bump in the road
when the Mariners traded Graveman
to the Houston Astros the bullpen
has been outstanding.
Paul Sewald and Drew Steckenrider
who both pitched on Tuesday as well
likely won't be available on Thursday
day game. Diego Castillo who pitched
on Tuesday maybe the closer if necessary.
Chris Flexen will start Thursday afternoon.
He will be looking to win his 11th game
of the year. Flexen last loss was against
Houston on July 27. His last outing was
against Toronto where he went six innings
giving up two runs. If Flexen does something
similar on Thursday a good chance the
Mariners will sweep the Rangers. Go M's.
