Mariners Win Again

Friday the Mariners  won fifth
game in a row and fourth on
current  road trip.

Seattle  6 Cleveland  1

Luis Castillo  went  six innings
giving  up no runs. He may have 
gone further  but no reason to do 
so. In the top of the seventh inning 
Cal Raleigh hit his second  homer
of the game with two runners on
 base.  Cal  now has 21 home runs
on the  season. 

As I thought  Cal Raleigh showed have
 been the starter  at catcher  from the 
beginning  of  the  season.  When the
season  started the  Mariners  were 
alternating between Raleigh,  Tom Murphy, 
and Luis  Torrens. Only catching every
three games  for Raleigh obviously hurt him. 
He was sent down  to triple-A Tacoma but
only lasted a  few days  because  Murphy 
was hurt which turned out  was for the season. 
Torrens  had trouble  at the plate and   not as
good  defensively as Cal. Torrens was sent down 
to Tacoma himself  in August.  Now  Cal is
and future  starting catcher for the M's.
