losing streak of six games on
Mother's Day.
It wasn't an easy task though
George Kirby in his major league
debut went six innings giving up
no runs, four hits, no walks and
striking out seven. Unfortunately
the game was 0-0 when he left
the game.
Though no win his column the
Mariners beat the Rays 2-1. It
wasn't in easy task as Rays
Manuel Margot hit a home run
off of Eriq Swanson in the 8th
inning. Swanson struck out the
side after that. It looked like
another loss to the Mariners
when Abraham Toro for the
second game in a row hit a
home run in the 9th to tie it.
Paul Sewald was able to get
the Rays in the 10th. Ty France
with two outs hit a deep ball to
left field to win the game for the
Mariners making it a celebration
for the Mariners and Kirby though
Sewald recorded the win.
We hope Kirby will continue to do
well the rest of the season coming
up in place of Matt Brash who was
sent to Tacoma. Speaking of Brash
right now he is working out of the
Rainier's bullpen. Not sure why but
I guess is to get his control back in
order without out going every five
days. Depending on his success we
could see Brash come out of the
Mariners bullpen this season unless
the Mariners need another starter
at some point. Go M's.
