The winningest team in.the majors since
July 1. The Mariners are playing the team
with best record in American League the
Baltimore this weekend.
The Mariners hitters pounded the ball
hard in the first inning however came away with only two runs with a homer by Cal Raleigh withe Eugenio Suarez on the
bases.
Julio Rodriguez hit a ball hard leading off
the Mariners side of the first inning.
It looked like it would be a home run
however Mullins the Orioles center
caught it to steal from Julio. It didn't
stop Julio since he hit a three run homer
in the 4th inning. The Mariners scored
two more runs to make it five that inning.
Ty France hit a solo homer in the 5th to
give Mariners a 8-1 lead. Julio who
had a fantastic day drove in the Mariners
final run in the sixth inning. The Orioles
scored a single run in the top of the
ninth to make the final 9-2.
Luis Castillo who has had his ups and
downs had an up day going six innings.
Gave up.a solo homer in the 4th inning.
He gave up only one other hit on the
night. When Luis is hot can't find a
better pitcher. He had two walks however
struck out eight.
The Mariners used three relievers each
going an inning each. Lefty Tayler Saucedo
gave up no hits or runs while striking
out one. Ryder Ryan who was called up from Tacoma made his major league
debut. Likely a bit nervous he didn't
give up a hit did walk a batter however
struck out two in the 8th. Trent Thornton
who recently was called up from
Tacoma after being acquired from
the Toronto Blue Jays just before the
trading deadline gave up two hits, walked
one and struck out two.
Sure seems whether it is a starter
or a reliever they have found or
brought up for the most part has
hsd success this season. Jerry
Dipoto says likely they will go with
a six man rotation for a little while
when Bryan Woo returns from the
injured list. Wants to be sure the
young starters have limited innings.
At some point they will return to
the five man rotation. Probably
happen in September. Most likely
Woo will be the one who will.sit.
He hasn't hsd a lot of pitching
time in his professional career.
JP Crawford went on the 7 day
injured list with s concussion.
The Mariners hope he will.return
after a week. Sam Haggerty was
brought up to take his spot. The
Mariners expected Dylan Moore
to play shortstop on Friday but
he was scratched a few minutes
before game time. Not sure why
he is out and for how long. Jose
Caballero played short had a hit
and a sacrifice fly while scoring
and driving in a run.
George Kirby starts Saturday night
as Felix Hernandez will be inducted
into.the Mariners Hall of Fame before
game time. T-Mobile Park is sold old.
It will be quite the deal..Go.M's.
