they were going to sweep the
series on Thursday afternoon
as the A's were pitching a no-
hitter going into the eighth
inning.
The Mariners had two hits in the
eighth inning by Adam Frazier
and Luis Torrens. The only two
the Mariners had on the day though
scored two in.the 9th to win.
Takeaways: When you are a bad
team you find a way to lose even
giving up two hits in the eighth
inning and leading 1-0 going into
the 9th. Zach Jackson A's reliever
walked two batter. He did get two
outs while striking out one. Also
walked two batters. AJ Puk came
in walking two as well. Dylan Moore
scored the tying run when Puk
threw a wild pitch. Again he threw
another wild pitch to score Jess
Winker to win the ballgame as well.
Ty France was injured in the 5th
inning when Abraham Toro threw
a throw from the third base. France
was off the base and collided with
the runner. Dylan Moore had to replace
him in the game. Right now don't
know how much time France will be
out. Hopefully it won't be long.
Pitching: Robbie Ray who pitched
well in his last three outings did
another job again for the Mariners
giving up the one run in the first
inning. Despite the opposing
pitcher Frankie Montes throwing
the no-hitter for seven innings.
Ray gave up four hits while walking
two and striking out six. The Mariners
now have 21 straight games where
they have given up three runs or less.
The Mariners just have to have their
offense hit more consistently.
The Mariners now go to Anaheim
to take on the Angels. Last week
the Angels beat the Mariners four
out of five games in Seattle primarily
because of Mike Trout's five home
runs. The Mariners hope to silence
Trout and the Angels this weekend.
Next week the Mariners take on the
Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A's
at home. Should have more success.
Go M's.
