Hernandez Walkoff Hit

Most of  Friday night  the Mariners  
bats were silent however they came
alive in the last three innings scoring
a run in each. Final 3 Blue Jays 2

The Blue Jays  scored their first run
on a homer off Bryce Miller  in the
fifth inning. He went into the sixth
inning, however  left with one out.
Toronto score their second run in the
seventh inning off of Gabe Speier.  
Prelander Berroa made his made
major league  debut in the seventh
inning. He was a bit wild walking three.
Though the run was credited to Speier
Berroa threw a wild pitch for the run
to score. I  am  not sure  it was a wild
pitch since I  think Tom Murphy could
have caught the pitch.

I hope Ty France is out of his slump.
He had two hits with scoring the first
run in the seventh and driving in the
run in the eighth inning. Jose Caballero 
scored the walkoff run on a hit by
Teoscar Hernandez  that banged off
the right field wall. It was inches from a 
home run. Hernandez had three hits
On the day.  The Mariners had other
opportunities  but couldn't  score.

We have seen  other games where
we were hoping  the  offense would
continue for several games. We hope
this walkoff win will be a jump start.
I  am  sure  the players have heard
Jerry Dipoto  saying about not adding 
more to  the offense this season. I
hope the players  believe they can do
it and not give up on the season.

With two games remaining at home
against the Blue Jays let their fans
go home disappointed. 

Before Saturdays  game  AJ Pollock 
went on injured  list  for hamstring 
and Taylor Trammell was called up.
Also Isaiah Campbell was called up
and Berroa was sent  down. Go M's.
