Angels the Mariners lost 6-5 in ten
innings. It was one of those games
the Mariners should have won. I
am sure some fans may say I am
being picky however they gave the
game away.
The Mariners did what they don't
always do and that was to score
early with Julio Rodriguez hitting
a two-run homer in the first inning.
Bryan Woo gave up a two-run homer
to Willie Calhoun in the bottom of
the first inning to tie. The Mariners
took the lead again in the third when
Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer from
the right side off of former Mariner
Tyler Anderson. Things look good
especially with scoring four runs.
Woo just couldn't get out of his one
way giving up two runs in the 4th
inning. He gave up a single to Mitch
Haniger in right field to narrow the
lead to one run. Pitching coach Pete
Woodward came out and talked to
Woo for at least second time in the
game. Woo surrendered the second
run another hit to Haniger to tie. Scott
Servais took Woo out.
My objection was why didn't Servais
take him out before the second run.
Yes the bullpen was going to be used
more than usual. Had Woo not given
that second run up would he have
pitched the 5th inning which might
brought more disaster. Of course
we won't know.
Neither team scored again until the
10th. Mitch Garver hit a double to
score Josh Rojas who was the ghost
runner. The Mariners were unable
to score Garver which turned out to
be the problem. The odds were pretty
good the Angels would at least tie the
game.
The Mariners brought in Austin Voth for
the 10th inning. As was pointed out he
had never closed out a game before.
The Angels won the game with Willie
Calhoun hitting his second two-run
homer. The ball looked like it was in
the same spot that Woo had thrown.
Calhoun had only two home runs
coming into the game on the season
so one night he doubled it. He was
the reason the Angels won or was it?
George Kirby will start Saturday's game.
See if the Mariners can win this one.
Logan Gilbert will start Sunday. Though
he will be at the all-star game it was
announced that Andre Munoz would
take his spot. A starter who pitches
on Sunday are not allowed to pitch
in the all-star game though they can
attend.
Go Mariners
