Mariners Shut Out Orioles

The Seattle Mariners game was

against the Orioles on Tuesday

Night was a good pitching duel.

Final score Seattle 2 Baltimore 0

Takeaways: Both teams had outstanding pitching with neither

starters giving up a run. Mariners

starter Robb Ray went seven innings

giving up only one hit. He did walk

three batters however struck out

eight. Diego Castillo and Paul Sewald

did their jobs each going an inning.

The Mariners may have scored runs 

before the eighth inning however Orioles  played excellent defense especially the right and center fielder robbing the Mariners of at least a couple doubles.

Strange occurrense in the 8th inning

which allowed the Mariners to score 

the two runs. JP Crawford was on 

first base when Julio Rodriguez hit

a dribbler down the first base line.

He avoided the tag but hadn't touched 

first base. I think the first baseman thought he did because he threw to

third base to try to get Crawford who

was trying to advance. Had he tagged

Julio it would have been the third out.

Jesse Winker who came up next hit a

towering high ball that looked to be a home run turned out to be a double

scoring Crawford and Julio and that was the ball game.

Taylor Trammel had to leave the game 

with a hamstring pull. Most likely

will have to go on injured list. If so

the Mariners will have to make a 

decision to bring up Jarred Kelenic or 

an infielder which means Dylan Moore

for the time meaning plays right field.

Mitch Haniger maybe returning in the

next couple weeks. Kyle Lewis is taking some batting practice to. He might go

for rehab stint soon. Watching a video

of Kyle he looks better running to first

base than when he played the three games before going on injured list for

a concussion. Look forward to seeing

both of them.

Carlos Santana made his first start 

at first base Tuesday night after

being traded to Mariners Monday.

He didn't get a hit though had a walk.

He did play good first base with his

defense. 

Mariners play afternoon game 

Wednesday. Chris Flexen will start

for the Mariners. Pitching like he

has in his last several starts the

Mariners have a good shot at winning.

See how the offense works. Go M's.
