Mariners Lose Saturday Afternoon

It was another hard day at the 

office for the Mariners. They 

were  only able to get one hit

until the 8th inning. 

Final Blue Jays 5 Mariners 4

Pitching it was like a bullpen day.

Emerson Hancock started and

able to go only four innings. He

gave up two runs. Trent Thornton

gave up a run in the seventh. 

Michael Baumann gave up two

in the eighth. 

The Mariners bounced back in

the 8th when Mitch Haniger

hit a three run homer.  Ty France

led off the 9th with a fly out.

Luke Raley hit a homer to right

field. Had Ty found a way to get

on base it would have been a 

tie instead of a loss and extra

who knows.

Two spots the leadoff hitter is

the most important is leading 

off the game and in the ninth

when they are behind.

Now see Sunday if they can 

take the series. George Kirby

starts for them.

Julio Rodriguez had to leave

the game in the first inning 

with a stiff quad. We hope he 

can be back on Sunday. 

The Mariners are on the road

next week beginning on Tuesday.

After two games at San Diego

they have four against the Angels

in Anaheim. The all-star break

is after that. Go.Mariners!
