Red Sox 8 Mariners 4
Tuesday night's game against theRed Sox was like many of the
Mariner games on the season
despite what the scores shows.
The game was tied going into
the 8th inning 2-2. Tyler Anderson
pitched well for 4 and 1/3 innings
giving up just one run however
had thrown 90 pitches. Since
this was a critical game now
down the stretch Scott Servais
decided to go to the pen and
brought in Casey Stadler to
finish off the 5th. Casey did
a fine job as he has done all
season.
The rest of the bullpen didn't
do their usual job though. This
especially happened in the 8th
inning when Drew Steckenrider
who had the save Monday night
gave up three of the five runs
that inning. Red Sox added another
run in the 9th. Mariners had two
runs in the 9th but the rally fell
short.
The Mariners had a chance for a
big inning when they had the
bases loaded. Jarred Kelenic
struck out which he seems to
do a lot when the bases are
loaded. Hopefully next year
when he might be better he
has more of those opportunities.
Jake Fraley back from rehab
assignment made his first start
in left field. He came up after
Kelenic. Fraley nearly hit a
home run but the ball was
caught for a sacrifice fly. A
home run certainly made the
difference in the game. We
should see Fraley in left field
the rest of the way against
right handers anyway.
Sounds like big news story
was supposed to be announced
on Thursday but was leaked
early. It looks like the 2023
All-Star Game will be at
T-Mobile Park. Won't that
be exciting. We hope the
Mariners will be in midst
of a great season like the
last one in 2001. I am sure
we can't expect 116 wins but
we can hope for it right.
Wednesdays game will be
an afternoon affair with
Marco Gonzales on the
mound. We hope for another
good performance from Marco
as we have seen in recent starts.
The Mariners need to take this
one against the Sox to still have
a chance in the wild card. Go M's.
Go M's.
