Mariners Sweep Rangers

The Mariners did what they needed

beating the Rangers 4-2. Now headed 

to take on the Astros for three games.

It is interesting to see the Astros were

swept in three games so the Mariners 

back where  they were a week ago.

Julio Rodriguez hit another home run 

for the second time since coming back. Julio.hit a three run version in the seventh inning. The Mariners were down going into.the inning.

The Rangers were ahead 2-1 going 

into the seventh. Marco Gonzales 

rebounded going seven innings.

He gave up a run in the fifth and sixth.

This is the Marco we like to see.

JP Crawford and Sam Haggerty each 

had two hits. No one else had more than one. Kyle Lewis was at dh while

Carlos Santana was at first. Ty France

had the day off.  With Lewis, Santana and France they can all get at least 

one day off a week. When Haniger gets

back it will be interesting for sure.  This

means they can pinch hit later in  the game. Lewis is being taken out of game late as well when in outfield. The same could happen with Haniger.

When Lewis and Haniger are healthy so can both be in the outfield at same time. Do so against a tough lefty to

give Jesse Winker a day off. If Julio

needs a day off most likely be Dylan

Moore. Don't want Haniger or Lewis

in center. This could depend when 

Taylor Trammel returns too.
