San Diego Padres 7-3 in the first of two
games at home before the Rangers come
to town.
The trouble is the Mariners can't afford
too many more losses to make the playoffs.
I figured when the Mariners went into the
Dodgers series before Servais was fired
they really needed to win 85 games at least.
With 17 games remaining that makes 12-5.
The way the Mariners have played all season
they would have to play their best games all
year. What is the chance of that. Other teams
could falter but not likely.
George Kirby went only five innings giving up
five runs. In September and August so far he
has gone six innings only twice. The Kirby
we are not used seeing. The big blow was
giving up a three run homer to Fernando Tatis
Jr. in the 3rd inning after being ahead 2-0.
The Padres added two more runs in the sixth
and seventh innings. The Mariners got Justin
Turner on base in the bottom of the seventh
then a ball dropped into right field. JP Crawford
hit a ball down the third base line scoring Turner.
The Mariners ended up loading the bases. Julio
came up with one out and he could do anything
besides hitting into a double play which he ended
up doing. The Mariners did get a runner or more in
the eighth and ninth but couldn't get anyone home.
