Mariners Take Series

The Seattle  Mariners  hadn't one a

series in Houston  for almost four

years. The last time  beating the

Astros  on the road was in September 

of 2018.

Logan Gilbert  had another  quality 

start going six and giving up three

runs on Wednesday  night. Gilbert 

didn't  give up a home run either.

The Astros scored their runs  in the 

second and fourth innings.  The

Mariners  pitchers blank them the

rest of the way. After Gilbert went

six innings, Andre Munoz, Paul 

Sewald and Diego Castillo  each

Went an inning. Munoz was the only

one to give up a hit. Castillo  struck

out the side in the 9th inning.

On this road trip Castillo  gave up

only one hit facing the Orioles and

Rangers once each and Astros twice.

We hope Castillo can still go this way

for several weeks.  The Mariners won

all three series going 6-3 on this road 

trip. Manager Scott Servais said can

gain ground by winning series.

The Mariners  are now 26-31 a half 

game behind Rangers and one game 

being the Angels.  The Mariners  take 

On the Red Sox at home starting Friday. 

The Mariners were swept recently in

Boston but hope to redeem themselves 

this weekend.  I am sure be big crowds

all weekend. 

Mariners #14 prospect  is righthand

pitcher Taylor Dollard a fourth round 

in 2020 draft by the Mariners.  Dollard

is pitching this year at Arkansas after

splitting time first at low A Modesto 

and finishing Everett.  Dollard has started

ten games for the Travelers.  Has a 3-2 

record going 47 1/3 innings. So keeping 

his pitch count down however has an era

of 0.95 with ten walks and 48 strike outs.

See if he is in the plans for the  Mariners 

next  season.
