Mariners Shut Out Twins

In the middle game of series
on Tuesday night the Mariners
beat the Twins 5-0.

Takeaways: 

Logan Gilbert went six innings
giving up four hits.Gilbert walked
one while striking out six. Certainly
looks like the ace of the Mariners.
Erik Swanson, Diego Castillo and 
Matt Festa each pitched an inning
without giving up a hit. Festa walked
a batter but got out on a double
play. 

The offense only had six hits but
two were home runs with a runner
on base. The first home run was
in the fourth inning when Eugenio Suarez hit a towering home run
to left field. In the fifth inning Ty
France hit the other. Sam Haggerty
drove in Dylan Moore in the 7th
inning for insurance.

Dylan Moore originally was going
to play left field giving Jesse Winker
the day off but JP Crawford was
scratched so entered Haggerty
going to left and Moore to shortstop.
Not sure what happened to Crawford.

The Mariners and Twins play an afternoon game which will be 
televised on YouTube instead of
Root Sports. We will have to see
who the announcers will be.

Marco Gonzales goes for the Mariners.
Hopefully he will bounce back so
the Mariners can take the series.
Next up the Mariners take on the
LA Angels for the first time on the
season. They play a five game 
series with Saturday be a day and
night double header. Have to buy
tickets each seperate for the games.

#19 prospect outfielder Jonatan
 Clase . Another youngster who is
only 20 years old. Class is considered
the fastest runner in the Mariners
system so is already stolen 47 bases.
Clase is in this third season in the
Mariners farm system. This year
he is playing at low level A Modesto.
He is hitting a descent .265 with six 
home runs and has 23 stolen bases.
Clase is striking out a lot with 67 in
45 games. If he can cut down on 
strike outs should have a good career.

Next time we will look at #20 prospect. We wouldn't go beyond except to see
who from 21 thru 30 are doing well.
