Another Tough Loss

The Mariners have had  a tough road
trip do far. They began losing two 
games against the Mets now the
first two against the Reds.

Tuesday looked like a good shot in
winning however Justin Topa who
has been pitching well unfortunately
gave up a three run homer in the
8th. The Mariners weren't able to
score a run in the top of the 9th
with two runs on base. Eugenio Suarez
who didn't start and came in late
was up to the plate. Red pitcher Diaz
was having a wild time gave up three
balls to Suarez after Mike Ford had 
been hit by a pitch. Instead of taking
a walk on a high pitch he hit to center
field for the final out of the inning.
Late in a game like this no matter how
much you want to the batter should not
go swing at a pitch until the pitcher is
able to get a ball over the plate.

Munoz who hadn't pitch a few games
came in the bottom of the 9th. He gave up
two hits and the ball game.

Servais often managed the game the
way the odds seems to be instead of
letting the game go as it should and
often back fires in my mind. 

Now the Mariners have to see if they
can salvage the final game of the 
series before going to Tampa Bay
for four games. Go M's.
