Mariners Are Shutout

The Mariners who would have liked

to have swept the Phillies instead 

were shutout 6-0.  Beating one of 

the top teams in the National League

twice is a good accomplishment.

The game actually isn't as bad as 

the score indicates. Kyle Schwarber

the leadoff hitter for Phillies hit a.home run on the third pitch of the game. Logan

Gilbert ended up shutting them out

the rest of his time on the mound.

He went six innings giving up four 

hits including home run and struck

out seven without a walk. Logan is

now 6-8 and most of his losses he

has had little run support like this

one.

The Phillies scored the other five runs

in the eighth inning. Yimi Garcia gave

up two runs the first time since become

a Mariner. He gave up a solo homer in

there too. Tayler Saucedo gave up the

other three runs including two home runs. He has given up seven runs in three of 

his last four games.  Tayler hss an era 

of 3.94 showing how well he had been

pitching. The Mariners will either send

him down to Tacoma or see what his 

problems have been or both.

The Mariners had only three hits on

the day.  Victor Robles, Cade Marlowe

who came in for him later in the came

Cal Raleigh. Justin Turner had his

first day off since joining the Mariners.

I am not sure ehst that all means. 

Having Monday off the Mariners

will be back on Tuesday against

Detroit Tigers at home. Luis Castillo 

will start for the Mariners on Tuesday.

The Astros and the Rangers both

lost so things stay the same. Go M's.
