Mariners Lose Little Offense

Our dream of the Mariners sweeping
the LA Angels is out of the door for
sure. The Red Sox won so they are
a game up on the Mariners. Important
the Mariners win Saturday and Sunday
with at least one loss by the Red Sox.

The Mariners only scored one run and
it was in the bottom of the second when
Jarred Kelenic hit a double.  Abraham
Toro who had a hit ahead of Kelenic 
scored the only Mariner run of the game.
Top of the Angels on a double by center
fielder Marsh brought in two runs in
the top of the third and that was it.

The one big mistake by Marco Gonzales
cost the Mariners the game though it
was the offense that had the problem.
Marco went six innings followed by
the bullpen that did another fabulous
job. 

Like many of the now 71 losses the 
offense wasn't able to catch in when
they had opportunities. Luis Torrens
had a double to lead off the 7th inning
and after a walk to Toro the Mariners
were not able to get a key hit or a
sacrifice fly to at least tie the game.
They had double by Seager in the 9th.
Jake Bauers pinch run for Seager but
they couldn't bring him home final
2-1 Angels.

Whatever happens next two games 
we have to say it was a good ride
and season. No one expected this
though will be disappointing to be
so close to making the playoffs in
twenty years.

Chris Flexen a big surprise was
named pitcher of the year by the
local media and Ty France player
of the year. Flexen will go on
Saturday night followed by Tyler
Anderson on Sunday.

Again thank you Mariners for an
exciting season. Not saying it is
over but want to let you know how
the fans appreciate you. Go M's.
