Another Close Game But Loss

 

The Seattle Mariners had another

close loss losing to the Mets 5-4.

There is a reason the Mets are a

good team and the Mariners average

at best right now.

The Mariners didn't score a run until

the sixth inning. The Mets had four 

runs by then. George Kirby who pitch

well in his opening start didn't have 

the same in this one. He threw too

many pitches and last only four innings

giving up three runs. We could still

see his potential in this game.

Jesse Winkler tied the game in the 

seventh inning with a three run homer.

The Mets got a run in the bottom of

the seventh to win the game. We hope 

this allows Winkler to start hitting well.

He ended the game striking out.

Mike Ford was at dh once again. He

didn't get a hit at all. Dylan Moore 

pinch hit for him against a lefty. I

wonder if Ford is a major league

hitter or another good triple A hitter.

There had to be a good reason the

SF Giants traded him back to the 

Mariners. The Mariners I am sure

give him a chance until Kyle Lewis

returns. Have to see how this road 

trip goes.

Robbie Ray pitches today instead of 

Chris Flexen. I expect the reason is

likely Ray isn't vaccinated and couldn't

face his old team. The Mariners go

to Toronto for a three game series on

Monday. Players have to be vaccinated

to play. The Mariners don't show yet

who is scheduled to pitch against

the Blue Jays. It will be interesting to

see who else won't be in this series

for the Mariners and who maybe the

reinforcements. In the meantime

the Mariners need to win Sunday. 

Go M's.
