Castillo. and Bullpen Shutout Out Rays

The Mariners  are  playing one of the
best teams in the major leagues in
the Tampa Bay  Rays on their field.

The two teams are  playing a four 
game series s winning the opener 
is important  however it wasn't easy. 
In fact the Mariners  only scored one
run in the second inning when Mike
Ford drove in Eugenio Suarez with
single after his double.

Neither team had very  many hits on
the evening. Luis Castillo pitched a
fantastic  game going six innings 
giving up only four hits, struckout
eight and walked  four. He did throw
108 pitches so the reason wasn't 
able to  go seven. 

The bullpen going three innings did
not give up a hit at all. Isaiah Campbell 
came in the seventh and struck out
all three batters he faced. Matt Brash 
who has been going well  recently 
struck out one. Andre Munoz who
recently  has had trouble did hit a
batter to make it interesting struck
out two and fanned the last batter to
end the game.

The Mariners are now a half game behind
the Astros who were idle. George Kirby 
expected to start Friday. We hope he
does better than his last start.  Feeling
healthier I am sure he will.

Shortstop  Colt Emerson the Mariners
number one pick this year got off to 
a hot start at low level A Modesto is
batting .261 right  now in 12 games.
Colt is the M's number four prospect 
right now last year's number one pick
Cole Young another sh9 is now  number
one.Young who started the season at
 Modesto  is now at Everett where is 
hitting .292 in 45 games. Catcher Harry
Ford the number two prospect  after 
being  number one at the start of the
season is batting .255 at Everett. 

Be nice to see those three along with other
prospects on the team in the years ahead.
