Mariners Win Close One


The Seattle Mariners beat the LA Angels
Friday night, however, it came down to
the last at bat with Paul Sewald getting
the last out. Final Mariners 6 Angels 5

We will see a lot of Sewald and Steckenrider
over the last eight games of the season.
At least as much as they need them. It is
exciting to be in a playoff race even if
they don't get in.

Logan Gilbert got off to a good start but
ended up going five and one-third innings.
This is Gilbert's first time in this situation
and length of season. Look next year when
he will be able to go longer. Hard to know
what the rotation will look like next season.
It will be good to speculate. Get to that 
when the season is over.

Ty France had another good game. He drove
home three runs including a home run in the
first inning. Also, JP Crawford and Mitch
Haniger had good games. Those three need
to continue doing well for the Mariner to
continue winning. 

Question is still going around what will 
happen with Kikuchi's next start will he
make it or not.  I would say see how his
arm is that day possibly start him, however,
have someone ready to go. Matt Brash
whose future could be in the Mariner's 
rotation next year was called up to the
Tacoma Rainiers as the double-A Arkansas
season is over. 

Some have suggested  starting Brash in 
Kikuchi's spot. I expect Kikuchi would be 
a better solution to  start but again have 
someone ready to go. This comes down
to whether the Mariners are still in the
 wild card race.

Tyler Anderson goes Saturday night.
Anderson went seven innings in his
last outing against Oakland giving up
only one run. We hope for another 
outing like that one. Like all the starters
the bullpen be ready to go early. Go M's.
