Mariners Shutout Wednesday

I am sure most everyone would have
liked the Mariners  to sweep  the San 
Francisco Giants  however it wasn't 
meant to be. Not an easy  task especially 
on the road.

The Giants shutout the Mariners 2-0.
JP Crawford  and Julio Rodriguez each
had a couple hits. The middle  of  the 
lineup had nothing going on. Eugenio 
Suarez dh as Jose Caballero played
third. Not a big surprise Suarez didn't 
have a hit. The Mariners  haven't  had
much success at dh except Mike Ford.

Speaking of Mike Ford he played first
base once again. We hope Ty France 
be back in against the Astros starting 
Thursday  night.

Tommy Milone started in place of
Bryce Miller who is on the injured
list. Malone gave up two runs but
only one was injured. According  
to manager Scott Servais  we may 
not see Miller  for a little while. The
All-star break  will give him some 
additional time off.

George Kirby and Luis Castillo  both
on the all-star team will pitch against
the Astros in the  four game series in
Houston. Bryan Woo will start Saturday 
likely and with Logan Gilbert.

The Mariners  expect to shut down Woo
sometime in the second half  of  the  season.
Whether the Mariners  bring in another
starter or we see  more of Milone we will
see. He could make another start in place
of Miller. Wouldn't be surprised  he is sent
down to  Tacoma and another reliever takes
his spot against Houston  as a fifth starter
isn't  needed through the series. Not sure 
when we should see Marco Gonzales  at
some point too.

Those in the Seattle area  take advantage of 
what will happen  with the  All-star  beginning
on the weekend.  There will be some freebies 
happening too. Go M's.
