Mariners Sweep Mets

The Seattle Mariners were on Sunday
Night baseball for the first time in
20 years.  They beat the Mets 12-1. 
The Mets got their only run on a
homer in the sixth inning. The Mariners 
swept the Mets. I am sure they were
glad to get out of town. On the nine 
game home stand they were 6-3.

They took two out of three against
the Philadelphia Phillies then lost two 
of three to the Tigers which could have
been a sweep except a great ninth
inning ended in a walk off double with
the bases loaded by Mitch Haniger. 

The Mets were shutout by the Mariners
in the first two games. I am sure they
are glad to go back home. 

Julio Rodriguez was back in the lineup
while Ryan Bliss was sent back to
triple A. Julio dh however went blank
striking out all five times.

Cal Raleigh was the hitter of the game
hitting two home runs and driving in 
five runs. Cal now has 26 home runs
on the season and 75 RBIs. Hitting 30
should be easy with 43 games remaining.


Luis Castillo went six innings before
going to the bullpen. Troy Taylor who
was just called up pitched the ninth.
It was his major league debut coming
up from double A. It says something
being the Mariners #23 prospect. He
dies have the stuff to be a Mariners
high leverage reliever if he keeps after
it. 

The Mariners start their road trip
in Detroit so they will look at payback.
Though Tuesday's starters aren't
announced yet George Kirby should
start though. Go M's.
