Mariners Lose First Game of Second Half

The Mariners  did well to end the first
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.
