Astros the Mariners best the Texas
Rangers 4-3.
Chris Flexen did what the Mariners
needed him to do by going six innings
and giving up only two runs.
The Rangers scored first with one run in the third. The Mariners responded
with two runs in the 4th. Ty France
who was the hitting star had a home
run in the 5th inning to extend the lead
to 3-1. The Rangers had a home run
in the sixth inning but the Mariners
added one in the seventh which was
a good thing.
Andre Munoz and Paul Sewald pitched
well however Diego Castillo didn't have
it this time giving up a home run. The
Rangers had the tying and winning run
on. The Mariners brought in Erik Swanson to see he could bail the
Mariners out which he did. Swanson
got the final two outs on only three
pitches.
The Mariners were without Julio Rodriguez for the fourth straight
game with his injured wrist. They
are expecting him and Jesse Winker
who missed as well on Tuesday
night. A good thing since they went
with Adam Frazier in left, Dylan Moore
in center field and Sam Haggerty in
right.
Kyle Lewis again didn't start or play
in Monday nights game. Right now
looks like playing him sparingly. It
would be nice to see three outfielders
in the lineup Tuesday.
Mitch Haniger started rehab assignment in Everett. Should play
in Tacoma as well. The Rainier's
start a series Tuesday night so
Haniger could be there. Not sure
how long he will be rehabbing but
Haniger says he will know when
he can return to the Mariners.
Tuesday night George Kirby will
start for the Mariners. Hopefully
he can go six innings but will be
based on.pitch count. The Mariners
haven't announced Wednesday
starter as of yet though should be
Marco Gonzales. After two bad outings
in a row we will have to see. Go M's.
