Thursday night in the season opener
3-0.
This is in a way we hope to see at least
90 more times. Great pitching, good defense and clutch hitting.
The game was scoreless for seven
and a half innings when Ty France
hit a home run in the bottom of the
8th inning. Andre Munoz didn't make it
easy or the Guardians anyway. Munoz
got the two first guys out then gave up
two hits with runners at second and
third. Fortunately the last batter grounded
out to France at first who tossed to
Munoz. Couldn't have had a better game.
Luis Castillo pitched a wonderful six innings and giving up one hit. The
Guardians only had four hits on the
night. Matt Brash pitched the 7th
inning throwing nasty slider especially
to Jose Ramiez. If you didn't see it is a
must to see online.
The key to the pitching was none of the
Mariners four pitchers walked a batter.
Now we look to seeing Robbie Ray do
the same Friday night and who the
hitting hero will be.
Jarred Kelenic had a hit and hit the
ball solid twice so another good
sign. Tommy La Stella was the opening
day dh. Whether he hits for high
average or not he was able to move
a runner over to third leaving with
one out. The Mariners didn't score
however Tommy did his job. Near
the end of spring training he had
two sacrifice fly's in a game. Something
the Mariners have lacked is someone
doing the little things so if that is all
he does I am fine with it. Go M's.
