4th of July beating the Padres in
the opening game of the series
8-2.
Takeaways: Chris Flexen pitched
an awesome game goingnsix and
two-thirds innings. He left with a
shutout. One of the rare times
Flexen has pitched well and had
offense backing. He know has a
record of 5-8 with an era of 4.00.
The Padres didn't score until the
9th inning on a two- run homer.
A bit too late.
The Mariners scored two runs in
the first inning then two more in
the fourth inning on a other massive
home run by Julio Rodriguez with
Dylan Moore on base. Julio became
the fastest major league ever to hit 15
home runs and 20 stolen bases in a
season. He has a good chance to
hit 30 home runs and steal 30 on
the season. Only one Mariner has
done that in Alex Rodriguez.
JP Crawford had three hits in the
game after coming off suspension.
Jesse Winker began his six game
suspension so will miss this series
well as the Toronto. Tuesday's
game will be in the afternoon and
the Mariners will fly home. They
have a day off on Wednesday before
taking on the Blue Jays for four
games.
The Mariners scored three more
runs in the sixth inning when Cal Raleigh hit a double with the bases
loaded. Cal also stole third base
his first of his major league career.
Marcus Wilson started his first
game in right field and had his
first hit in his first at bat to. Something for him to remember for sure.
For any who hadn't heard last week
USC and UCLA went to the Big Ten
Conference. Not sure what will
happen to the Pac-12. Not sure
whether the Huskies and Oregon
Ducks will follow. This puts in question
the Cougars and Beavers as well.
The Huskies had a number of recruits
commit for 2023 but not sure how
this will affect them we will. Camp
for the Huskies and the Cougars
will be starting soon. The same for
the Seahawks. Football just around
the corner. The time will come fast
as we know.
