Mariners Explode

 Mariners 13 Athletics 4

Monday night's game got off to a rough
start with Chris Flexen giving up a three
run homer in the first inning. After that
he was ok. He did give up another run
in 4th inning after the Mariners had
tied the score. It was all Mariners
after that.

Chris Flexen pitched through the 5th

inning then then bullpen finished up.

Four relievers pitched four innings 

not even giving up a run. Isn't nice

to have a good bullpen along with

feeling like we are in a playoff run

even if they follow short.

Mitch Haniger had a great night 

hitting two three-run homers. JP

Crawford had three hits and Ty

France four ahead of Mitch.  JP

scored three times well as three

hits. France was perfect going 4

for four with four rbi's. 

Kyle Seager and Abraham Toro

were the only regulars not having

a hit. Both continue being in a

hitting slump. Nice to have the

guys ahead of them doing so well.

Tyler Anderson is going to start

on Tuesday night instead of Yusei

Kikuchi. Anderson didn't do well

in his last outing however has done

good since coming to the Mariners. 

Kikuchi will be available though

if they need him. This means to

that Anderson will have one more

start after this one.  

All relievers will be on deck since

the starters will be on short if they

get off to a tough start. Casey Sadler

Monday night pitched his 25th inning

without giving up a run. This tie's

the team record so next time Sadler

pitches and doesn't give up a run he

will have the record. Thanks Casey

for doing such a great job all year

long. Oh by the way his era is 0.74.

The Mariners now have five games

remaining. The odds are against the

playoffs but anything can still happen.

What a great season. Go M's.
