Mariners Lose Season Opener

We could say the Mariners started 

the season with a little bump in the 

road losing the season opener 6-4

at home against the Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox looked more like we 

hope the Mariners will look  for the

season. 

Luis Castillo  was only able to go

five innings giving up four runs.

His fastball  looked good however 

he threw 75 percent of the time.

A bit higher than expected. He

must have not been comfortable 

with his offspeed pitches. We hope

a better result in his next outing.

The  Mariners got their four runs

on two two-run homers by Mitch 

Haniger and Dylan Moore. Mitch's

homer in the 4th inning putting

the Mariners within down 3-2.

The Red Sox  scored four straight 

innings which is the reason they

won. They had a two-run homer 

in the third followed by single 

run in fourth, fifth and sixth 

inning.

Dylan Moore  had his homer in

the seventh  inning pinch hitting 

for Dominic Canzone and stayed

in to play left field. If Moore keeps 

hitting  like he did in spring training 

and now the first game of the 

season  we will see a lot of him.

Friday  night George Kirby will start

for the Mariners.  We hope for a win

the column. The Texas Rangers were

the only team in the American League 

West  to win Thursday  beating the

Chicago Cubs at home 4-3 in 10

innings. Go Mariners!
