in Atlanta besting the Braves seven
to three. It was small sample size but
the Mariners scored three runs in
the fourth inning to take over the
lead and two more runs in the fifth.
What made those two innings so
special is something they did what
they haven't for most of the season
in situational hitting. Teoscar
Hernandez hit a ball into right field
driving in a run. Eugenio Suarez
had a sacrifice fly and so did Jose
Cabarrello. Mariners haven't had
an inning too often where they had
two sacrifice flies. Gives us hope.
In the seventh inning the Mariners
looked like they were going to have
another situational hitting with Kelenic
starting off with a single however
Eugenio hit a two run homer instead.
Eugenio has been having a bad May
so this is a good sign that he could
be out of his slump. If so the Mariners
could ride on his back for several games.
Julio Rodriguez didn't get a hit however
a good sign he walked three times. Didn't
give into the Braves pitching.
The Braves got two runs in the
first inning with Matt Olson hitting
with runner on base and no outs
to start off the game. Logan Gilbert
made some adjustments and had
fifteen appearances from the Braves
without giving up a hit. Logan went
six innings to record the victory. The
Braves got their third run in the 8th.
Paul Sewald who has been missing
in action over most of the last several
games pitched the ninth though not
a save situation. He struck out a batter,
gave up a single and ended with a
double play.
George Kirby goes Sunday so a good
chance the Mariners can win the game
especially if they can get to the Braves
starter early. The Braves used six of
their relievers Saturday.
The Mariners do start a new series
Monday at home without a day off
and having to fly across country
after the game. At least they gain
three hours and they face Oakland.
