they have to win the majority of their
games. The Astros have them a chance
to get closer the Mariners have lost
critical games.
Though the starting pitching for the
most part has been good. Luis Castillo
is out on the injured list so Friday night
Night was critical again with Emerson
Hancock on the mound. He was able to
go five innings however gave up three
run.
The bullpen hss gone through tough times
with injuries. Thorton pitched a good sixth
inning, however, Austin Voth walked a
couple in the seventh which isn't good.
Tayler Saucedo came in with two outs
and gave up a hit which the run went to
Voth. JT Chargois struck out three
Rangers in the eighth and Munoz took
care of the ninth.
The Mariners were down 4-0 heading
into the bottom of the seventh. Things
didn't look good for sure. Cal Raleigh hit
a sacrifice fly scoring Victor Robles for
the first run. Something the Mariners
have had on the season. Most of the
time hitter strikes out and the batter
after hits a fly ball for third out. Randy Arozarena hits a single to score Julio.
In the ninth inning Julio was able to bat
again. With JP Crawford and Josh Rojas
on base with two outs Julio hit a three-run
homer to give them the game. Julio
had four hits on the day.
Scherzer goes for the Rangers Saturday
night against Logan Gilbert. Not only
will have to pitch like he has all season
the offense has to come alive again
which they have had trouble doing most
of the season when Logan is on the mound.
The Mariners are still four and a half
behind the Astros. The wildcard they
are three and a half. They can't afford
really any losses to the Rangers in
these two games as the Yankees come
to town. Go team.
