shut out out by the Boston Red Sox
2-0. The Mariners had only one hit
by catcher Luis Torrens.
Robbie Ray had his best outing of
the season going seven innings
giving up no runs on three hits.
Only walked one hitter and struck
out four which was his least strike
outs on the season. If Ray can
pitch this way the rest of the season
the Mariners will benefit with more
wins.
Ray threw a lot of two-seam fastballs
along with sinker. Until he got into
trouble in his last outing he hadn't
thrown a two-seam fastball in six years. His success last year was the
four-seam fastball which he has had
trouble with this year. If Ray can mix
his four-seam along with two-seam
fastball and the sinker the opposition
will have trouble.
The Red Sox scored their two runs
in the eighth inning off reliever Paul
Sewald. He got the first two batters
out then hit the Red Sox leadoff
hitter then the dsngerous Rafael
Devers hit his 14th home run of
season. Devers made an outstanding
play in the bottom of the eighth.
Also right fielder made Rob Refsnyder
made an outstanding catch to rob
the Mariners of a double.
Now the Mariners take on the Minnesota Twins in a three game series. Chris Flexen will open the
series. How the Mariners do against
the Twins will tell us more of an idea
how good or not they are.
#17 prospect is right handed hitting
outfielder George Felix. He was signed receiving the most money in international player for Mariners in
2019. He is only 19. Currently playing
in center field. Last year George hit
.277 in his first professional season
in Dominican Summer League. This
year he is in Arizona rookie league.
Only played four games so far.
See where he is at in July.
