Seahawks Win Opening Preseason Game

The Seahawks beat the Chargers
in Los Angeles  16-3  Saturday
late afternoon.

Like most preseason games not
to exciting. Offensively Geno Smith, 
Kenny Walker 3, Tyler Lockett and
DK Metcalf didn't play. Most likely
see some of  all four in game 2
preseason next week.

Sam Howell who acquired in a trade
during the offseason started at quarterback instead of Geno. Also
PJ Walker played at qb. Zach Charbonnet
is expected to share running back
with Walker only carried the ball only
twice. Kenny McIntosh right now the
number three rb led 40 yards on eight
carries.

At wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba
was the only starter who played and 
caught just two passes. Dareke Young
who is trying to make the team as
a backup receiver lead with 3 catches
for 44 yards.  The Seahawks didn't
score until the second  quarter where
they had two touchdowns. The second
touchdown was after Seahawks safety
Kobe Bryant intercepted a passes. The
Seahawks had a field goal in the 4th
quarter. 

Though the offense didn't look exciting 
they did have the ball almost twice as
the Chargers. The defense helped make 
it that way to. Seahawks number one
pick this year Byron Murphy 2 showed
why he could make a difference on the
team this season.

In baseball the Mariners shutout the
New York Mets  4-0. This means they
have won the series and could sweep
on Sunday. Logan Gilbert went seven
innings and had eleven groundouts.
He walked one while striking out six.
Yimi Garcia pitched the eighth while
Andre Munoz took care of the ninth.

The Mariners scored three runs in
the first inning. They had two doubles
in the first to make the three runs.
The Mariners didn't score again until
the seventh inning. Justin Turner hit
a single bringing in Randy Arozarena 
for his second time of the game.
Luis Castillo will start Sunday so we
will see whether he help the Mariners
sweep the Mets. Go.M's.
