Mariners Win Opening Game of Road Trip

The Seattle Mariners beat the opening
game of the nine game road trip
in Philadelphia 5-3 over the Phillies.

Marco Gonzales started Tuesday night
instead of Logan Gilbert. With a day off
the Mariners did have the luxury to start
Marco.  Logan had a few physical issues
so the Mariners decided to start Marco
though Logan could have pitched. With
the day off Monday plus not pitching
Tuesday gives Logan more rest.

Marco pitched well going five innings and 
giving up one run in the fifth. Fortunately
the Mariners scored two runs in the top
of the fifth including another home run by
Jarred Kelenic a solo. Jarred had three hits on the night. 
In the sixth inning the Mariners scored two more runs on a homer by Teoscar Hernandez. Hopefully he will keep going as the Mariners next series Is at Toronto. The Mariners finish next week traveling all the way to Oakland. The good thing the Mariners do.have next Monday off.

Thursday's game will be a day game
so the Mariners will get into Toronto
at a reasonable hour.

Matt Brash continues to struggle giving
up a run coming in.the sixth inning. Speier
and Topa continue doing well and still
either one has giving up a run since being
recalled from Tacoma. Paul Sewald is
not pitching that well giving up a run himself. The good thing the Mariners were
leading by three heading into the ninth.
He gives up a run occasionally with more
than a one run.lead it is OK.
