Mariners Win Sunday

Bryan Woo pitched well I most of his

five and two-thirds innings. He gave

up two runs without a walk. Woo 

gave up a home run in the fourth inning

and another in the sixth inning.

One key is the Mariners scored first

in the second inning when Dylan

Moore hit a triple scoring two runners.

Alvarez hit a long home run making

it Mariners 2-1 lead. Alvarez did much

of the damage going 4 for 4. Why the

Mariners continue to pitch to him

is the question. Sort of like they did

with Mike Trout.

Jorge Polanco hit a solo home run to

match Alvarez in the bottom of the

4th.  The Astros scored in the top

of the sixth to make it 3-2 Mariners.

Luke Raley hit a three run homer

in the bottom of the sixth. The Astros

scored a run in the seventh and the

eighth to make it interesting. Andre

Munoz came in and closed the door

in the 9th. Final Mariners 6 Astros 4

Julio Rodriguez had to leave the game 

running into the fence. XRays showed

being negative so likely day to day right

now. News came out that Ty France was

out on outright waivers. He can still play

unless another team picks him up

or the Mariners release. Still on the

roster right now however Tyler Locklear

will start seeing action at first base in

the near future. 

Reliever Mike Baumann was traded to

the San Francisco for cash considerations.

The Mariners will start series against

the Los Angeles Angels Monday at

home. Bryce Miller starts Monday, 

Logan Gilbert Tuesday and Luis

Castillo on Wednesday. 

The Mariners will have Thursday off

and have a series against the White

Sox in Chicago beginning Friday.

They will play the Red Sox the following

Monday through Wednesday. Have

that Thursday off then a three game

series at home against the Philadelphia

Phillies beginning of August.
