Mariners Lose Another One to Boston

The Seattle Mariners lost another
close one in the open game of
series against the Boston Red Sox
4-3 at home. This is now the 5th
loss without a win against BoSox.


The loss came down to Andre Munoz
who gave up two runs in the 7th
inning. Munoz gave up a solo home
run as well as another run to record
the loss. This has been a struggle
for Munoz and the bullpen as of late.


Marco Gonzales who had been pitching 

well as of late struggled in this one going

 four and one-thirds innings. Marco had 

a hard time even beginning in the first inning.

 Fortunately only gave up one run in
the first and a home run to JD Martinez
in the third. Marco ended up walking
six batters well as striking out four.
Not Marco type of outing. Hope for
him to recover next time.


Penn Murfee came in the fifth inning
to record the final two outs. Penn
has done a fine job since coming
up from Tacoma. Penn has an era
of 0.87. Eriq Swanson made his
first appearance after coming off
the injured list. Pitched the sixth
without giving up a hit or walk.


After Munoz the Mariners used
three relievers not giving up a run.
Neither Paul Sewald or Diego
Castillo were used so should be
available on Saturday. George Kirby
is scheduled to start. Won't be an
easy one against BoSox offense
but hopefully the Mariners find a
way to win.


Jesse Winker hit his 4th home run
of the season with a runner on base
to tie the game in the 5th inning.
Hopefully Winker will get hot. Cal
Raleigh had a hit to drive in the
3rd run in the 8th. Too bad the
Mariners were unable to score
another run or two.


#15 Mariners prospect is left-handed
hitting third baseman Starlin Aguilar.
He is only 18 years old so won't see
him for a few years. Right now playing
in the rookie team in Arizona. Starlin
has some power in his bat. Has gotten
off to a hot start though only played
in four games see how he does as the
summer goes along. Go.M's.
