Another Tough Loss For Mariners

Saturday night's game was rough

and tough losing second straight

to the A's. Final A's winning 4-2.

The Mariners had Victor Robles

lead off the bottom of the first

with a double. Julio get's hit by

a pitch and Cal Raleigh walks. 

It looks like the Mariners are going

to get off to a good start. Arozarena

hits a hard ball up the middle

where second baseman Max Muncy

steps on second to get Julio out 

too. With two outs Cal steals second

however Luke Raley strikes out.

The Mariners often didn't score

with the bases loaded with no outs

however this one was tough luck

you may call it. The rest of the

game was much like it the rest

of the game.

The Mariners actually scored first

when Ryan Bliss was stealing second

and the ball was overthrown. 

The A's took a lead in the fourth

on a two-run homer. They added 

another in the sixth and Mariners 

scored a run in the bottom of

the sixth. The A's added their final

run in the top of the seventh.

Mariners had their chances late 

in the game.

Besides Robles hit in the first

the rest of the hits was farther

down in the lineup. Polanco, Tellez,

Ryan Bliss and JP Crawford each

had one. Tellez left early as Dylan

Moore came in to pinch hit for

Tellez against a lefty. My question

if the Mariners were pinch hitting

for Tellez why it wasn't Solano. 

So far Luke Raley hasn't played

first base yet. It must be his defense.

I am sure most of us thought Raley

was going to be at first base. 

Now we have to see how Bryan Woo

will do on Sunday. It is important

he pitches well. So far in his short

career he has dominated the A's.

The Mariners will face another lefty

on the mound. We could see Polanco

have a day off.  Go M's.
