Mariners End Losing Streak

The Seattle Mariners ended their

three game losing streak on Tuesday

Night. Of course, had to be on the

road and fifth team in the West 

division the Oakland A's.

Final Score Mariners 8 A's 2

Takeaways: 

The bats came alive. Actually didn't

happen until the seventh inning. The Mariners did score a run on a home 

run by Taylor Trammel in the third

inning and another in the sixth. At 

that point the A's still had a chance.

In the seventh inning the Mariners

had their big bats hit homers. Julio Rodriguez had a two- run homer

followed by solo home runs by Jesse

Winker and Eugenio Suarez. They scored another run to make it five

runs and a 7-0 lead.

The bottom of the seventh A's Nick

Allen hit a two-run homer. In all

the A's had seven hits.

The Mariners scored their final run

in the 9th inning. Ty France and Julio

Rodriguez had three hits on the night.

Pitching:  Marco Gonzales went seven

innings giving up the two runs in the

seventh. The seven hits in this game

is the most he has given up in the

month of June. Marco has an era of

2.88 in June despite having a 1-2

record for the month.

Next up:  George Kirby vs Paul Blackburn

Update on Jarred Kelenic at Tacoma.

In 26 games Kelenic is batting .271

with six home runs and 15 RBIs. 

His batting average is solid though

he is striking out more than once

a game. It is a blessing he isn't 

hitting for a better average or the

Mariners would be tempted to 

bring him back to soon. I expect

Kelenic will be in Tacoma until

at least the all-star break unless 

an injury happens to an outfielder.

Go M's.
