Mariners Take Series In Arizona

Luis Castillo and the Mariners bullpen
shutout out the Arizona Diamondbacks
4-0 on Sunday to make things more
interesting.

The Mariners scored early once again 
scoring two runs with JP Crawford and 
Julio doing so. Crawford hit a home
run in the second inning to go ahead
in a nice fashion. Crawford was outstanding scoring times with the
last one in the 9th inning. It would have 
been nice to add more but we will take.

The early lead certainly helped Luis
since often he has given up runs early
himself. He was able to go six innings
though he threw over one hundred pitches.
As manager Scott Servais said on post
game it was nice to see The Rock back.
Luis made his first start for the Mariners
a year ago coming over from Cincinnati
Reds. 

Jake Fraley who the Mariners gave up 
in the trade is batting .262 for the Reds
with 15 home runs and 61 RBIs. Wouldn't it be nice to have those numbers in the
Mariners lineup however who else would have they given up instead. Possibly a
couple other prospects but we will never
know. He and Taylor Trammel were two
coming up in the system and made
starts in the outfield. Interesting both
had injury issues with the Mariners. Fraley
has played in 88 games so far for the
Reds this season. Trammell so far hasn't 
lived up to his talent yet. I hope he
does one of these days. We don't know. 
The Mariners do make a trade in less
than 48 hours he could be involved 
where the opposing team gives them
a player for at least a couple guys.
Right now Cade Marlowe is getting
more playing time. Make sence
since he was the one came up when
Kelenic went on the injured list. 

Now the Mariners will face the Red
Sox at home starting on Monday. 
George Kirby be on the mound for
the Mariners. Go M's.
