half of the season before the all-star
break on the road. Unfortunately they
began the second half a lot like the first
half losing and not making opportunities
to win. The Mariners could still win this
series however must play better.
Luis Castillo got off to a poor start giving
up a two-run homer in the first and then
another home run in the fifth. This was
the farthest he got. The bottom of the
fifth the Mariners loaded the bases.
Dylan Moore who started in left field
almost hit a grand slam however had to
settle for a double. The Mariners scored
two runs making it 3-2 Tigers lead. The
had two runners on Second and third however
neither scored though AJ Pollock could
have on a grounder if he had left on contact.
This would have tied the game.
Tyler Adcock for the first time gave up runs
on the season. He gave up a two-run homer
after Dylan Moore made an error at first.
Moore had to move from left to first when
Ty France was tossed from the game after
arguing then throwing his bat. Kelenic didn't
start as the Mariners went with eight right
handed hitters in the lineup with JP Crawford
being the only lefty. Unfortunately JP didn't
get a hit on the night. Kelenic did get a hit
in the 8th inning driving in the third run of
the game. Mike Ford pinch hitting for Pollock
in the 9th inning hit a home run. The Mariners
we're not able to add another run losing 5-4.
Luis Castillo recorded the loss now with a
6-7 record though he has an era of 2.96. Though
only giving up three runs Luis did well enough
to give the Mariners a chance to win. George
Kirby is scheduled to start Saturday followed
by Bryce Miller on Sunday. The Mariners will
have to make a move with Miller coming off
the injured. Not sure who will start against the
Twins and what order. Logan Gilbert and Bryan
Woo should both start but in what order not
sure. Go M's.
