Mariners Take Game Two In Series

The Seattle Mariners got off

to a good start scoring four runs

in the first primarily on a three

run homer by Ty France. The

trouble it was short lived. Dylan

Moore added a solo home run

in the second and Julio a two

run shot in the 4th inning. At

the end of the 5th the Angels 

tied the game at 7-7. It was

another rough outing by Luis 

Castillo. It surprises me he has

an era after this one of 3.21.

At least he was able to go six 

innings.

The Mariners were able to get

the Angels starter out early who

went four innings. The Angels

used five relievers while the

Mariners used three. It helps

heading into the final two games

of the series.

Eugenio Suarez drove in Julio

with a go ahead run in the

eighth. Julio had a double then 

Suarez single. It was the ten

straight game Suarez had driven

in at least one run. He now has

the teams record after tying

Edgar Martinez at nine. 

Cal Raleigh hit a home run in

the 9th to give the Mariners

a 9-7 lead. Matt Brash pitched

the 9th as Andre Munoz wasn't 

available after two straight games.

Brash gave up a hit and a walk.

Ohtani came to the plate. I am sure

he was dreaming of hitting a

home run as a walkoff victory

however instead Brash struck him

out and got the final two outs

to record the save and victory.

In other local sports the Washington

Huskies and Oregon Ducks decided

to go to the Big Ten. This now gives 

the conference sixteen teams. Looks

like the end of the Pac12. Arizona

and Arizona State expected to go to

the Big 12. What happens to California, 

Stanford, Oregon State and Washington

State we will have to stay tuned.
