Mariners End Losing Streak

The Seattle Mariners finally ended

their losing streak to the Houston

Astros 5-4. They may lost for

Sunday some players though.

The Mariners scored three runs in the first inning with Eugenio Suarez, JP Crawford and Adam Frazier each driving in a run. The Mariners didn't

score again until the 9th inning.

The Astros scored one run in the fifth 

and sixth inning followed by two in

the seventh. The thought in my mind

oh no they blew their opportunity.

In the ninth inning Abraham Toro who 

seems to own his old team pinch hit

for Julio Rodriguez. You may wonder 

if you were not watching or listening

to the game. Well Julio hurt his wrist 

again. Not sure the same one or not.

Julio had been still in the game for

defense in the eighth inning but I 

guess Servais didn't want to take the

chance hurting further. Anyway Toro

got a hit to score two runs to take

the lead into the bottom of the ninth.

The Mariners had an interesting lineup

going into the bottom of the ninth. Jesse Winker was in left as we would

expect but Dylan Moore started the game there but was taken out. He had been hit by a pitch but went out for

back spams. 

Adam Frazier went to center to take

Julio's spot. Toro played right field

for Sam Haggerty who had been hurt.

Haggerty had come in as a replacement for Kyle Lewis. 

In the infield Ty France moved from

first to second while Carlos Santana

went from dh to first. Paul Sewald 

who.pitched the ninth would have

had to hit or whoever pitching if the

game went into extra innings. Paul

though got all three outs nice and

easy for the win.

We do hope that Julio will be able to

start on Sunday. Winker will be in

left and not sure in right field.  In Tacoma Jarred Kelenic was taken 

out of the game a little while after

Lewis was for Seattle. So speculation

went wild on Twitter whether he was

going to be called up or a  trade going

to happen which might include him 

and Lewis. 

So far no news on a trade or call up

for Kelenic but with injuries he could

be taking Moore or Haggerty spot. 

If Rodriguez is serious they will need 

to call up another. Most likely if the 

Mariners have callups they will have

to.meet in New York unless Kelenic

is meeting in Houston. Any others would have to take a red eye to Houston since it is a day game.

Will update with further news. Go M's.
