Grand Slam Wins It

Friday nights game was important

for both the Mariners and Angels

are close together trying to make

the playoffs.

There was no scoring in the first

five innings. The Mariners had the

opportunity to score early having 

JP Crawford on third and Julio at

second with no outs. A poor throw 

by the Angels not able to get Crawford

on a grounder by Julio to first base. 

Julio being safe at first stole second.

In the sixth inning Eugenio Suarez

hit a home run to give the Mariners a

one nothing lead. Didn't last long as the

Angels scored two in the bottom

of the sixth. In the eighth inning Ohtani

hit a home run to make it 3-1. For the

Mariners to win they had to at least

score two to tie.

The Angels closer Carlos Estevez

came I with 23 saves in same amount 

of opportunities. With a two run lead 

it didn't look the Mariners had a chance.

On this night things changed. Cal Raleigh

walked followed by Ty France walking.

Jose Cabellero came and pinch run

for Ty. Dominic Canzone hit a sharp

ball to right however Cal and Jose could only move up a base each. So now the 

bases are loaded and things look good

for the Mariners to do something.

Hernandez struck out. Cade Marlowe

who had only been up for two weeks

taking Jarred Kelenic spot. He decided

it was time for the Mariners to win

so he hit a grand slam home run to

put up the Mariners to 5-3 which 

ended up the final score. Andre Munoz

gave in and struck out the side.

Right now the Mariners are the hottest 

team around. Keep this up the playoffs

look good. Winning each series will let

it happen. The Mariners and Angels

play four so at least two wins would

be a tie. Now the Mariners just need

to win two out of three for a good record

in Anaheim. 

Luis Castillo pitches Friday followed 

by Kirby and Bryce Miller. Sunday's

game Bryce is the only one with a

slight edge. The Mariners are six

games behind the Texas Rangers 

for West division. Toronto lost

so they are two and a half behind

the Blue Jays while half behind the Red Sox. The Mariners and Yankkes have the same record. Continue success

this weekend the Mariners might be 

closer. Go M's.
