Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in ten
innings. The gsme to was a
game from win as well which
they have had trouble during
the season to accomplish.
This is now August which
on record the Mariners best
month of the season. Last
year August helped them
even have a chance to make
the playoffs. The Mariners
continue having another good
August it will put them in good
position to win the division.
The Phillies scored their first
run in the first inning. The
second, third and fourth were
scoreless by both teams. The
Phillies scored their remaining
four runs in the fifth inning.
Mitch Haniger hit a solo home
run in the bottom of the fifth
to put them on the scoreboard.
In the sixth inning the Mariners
tied the game with four innings.
This was in the manor where
they didn't hit a single home run.
A way we have been looking for
them to do most of the season.
Randy Arozarena who has paid
dividends already for the Mariners
led off the sixth with a double.
After CSL Raleigh struck out
Justin Turner was hit by a pitch
putting runners on first and
second. Jorge Polanco didn't
start Friday hit a single to bring
in Arozarena.
Dylan Moore struck out making
it two outs. Mitch Haniger who
has a tough season so far ended
up walking mskunb the bases
loaded. Luke Raley pinch hit for
Mitch Garver hit a double bring
in two runs. Josh Rojas hits a
single to bring in Haniger and
Luke Raley was out at the plate
hoping to put the Mariners ahead.
Neither team were able to score
the next three innings. Phillies
were unable to score in the top
of the tenth. Arozarena was the
runner at second to start the 10th.
Cal Raleigh was intentionally walked.
It was a good move but backfired
on the Phillies. Justin Turner flied
for the first out. Jason Vosler pinch
hit for Leo Rivas who had come in
for Polanco ended up striking.
It looked likely the game would go to
the eleventh however Dylan Moore
was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
We will take a win whatever way
happens well Mitch Haniger to bring
in Arozarena from third for the win.
A very good win for the Mariners.
On the pitching side for the Mariners
starter Bryce Miller went only four
and a third innings gave up four of
the five runs. Tayler Saucedo came
In was able to get one out however
surrendered the final run. He gave
up two runs. Saucedo has been
struggling as of late after having a
good start to the season. JT Chargois
making his season debut for the
Mariners got the final out of the
fifth and pitched the sixth inning
as well. The Mariners ended up
using six relievers in the game.
From Chargois on they didn't
give up a hit though four walks.
Logan Gilbert will start Sunday
afternoon after his worst start
of the season in his last start.
We know that he can rebound
and it is important he can pitch
deep into the game to rest the
bullpen.
The Mariners have needed off day
on Monday then take on the Detroit
Tigers for three followed by the
NY Mets next Friday through Sunday.
The Astros lost Saturday 6-1 to the
Tampa Bay Rays so the Mariners
are up by one game. The Mariners
have 50 games remaining on the
season. If they split the games the
Mariners will have 84 wins. We hope
for a few more wins than that. Go M's.
