Mariners 5 Red Sox 4
The Seattle Mariners won their 30th
game as the opener to a series. They
have only lost 19 times.
As we see they won by one run as
well which they have done over the
season. The big blow for the Mariners
was a home run by Mitch Haniger
in the 7th inning with two runners
on base.
Logan Gilbert pitched another dominant
game going six innings giving up two
runs, however, walked one batter while
striking out nine. Gilbert had no problem
going up against the Red Sox big guns.
After Haniger's home run the Red Sox
hit two home runs of their own against
Paul Sewald in the 8th inning before
Drew Steckenrider was able to record
the save with two strike outs. As of late
Sewald has been giving up home runs.
We hope he straightens things up.
Tyler Anderson will be going for the
Mariners on Tuesday night. If he does
what he has since arriving in Seattle
late August the Mariners have a chance
to win this one as well.
Jake Fraley is on rehab assignment in
Tacoma. On Saturday he dh and then
on Monday played left field in the first
game of a double-header where he
had a three-run homer. The Rainiers
won both games. They have won 8
out of their last nine games.
The Rainiers play in what used to be
called the PCL is now the triple-A
West. In the west division the Rainiers
are 68-45 with a three game lead in
the division. We wish them the best.
The second game of the double header
Taylor Trammell scored the winning
run on his 24th birthday. How about
that!
Justin Dunn looks to go on a rehab
assignment soon after doing a
simulated game on Monday. If
he does return to the Mariners
before the season ends he will
likely be in the bullpen instead
of starting a game.
The win over the Red Sox the
Mariners are two games behind
in the wild card. After finishing
up the Red Sox on Wednesday
the Mariners will go on a 10-game
road trip to Kansas City, Oakland,
and Anaheim. The series against
the A's in Oakland is four games
and could break the chance to go
to the wild card or not. Go M's.
