Home Runs Help Out Mariners Again

Wednesday afternoon game was

questionable who would win but

the Mariners pulled it out like

they have often all season.

Julio Rodriguez got things going

in the first inning with a three run

homer. He is starting to hit home

runs more frequently.

Cal Raleigh again had a home run.

The question is when he won't

have one. It happened in the 6th

to tie after the White Sox tied

and took the lead in the fourth.

Logan Evans looked good 

besides giving up three home

runs.He was able to go six

innings. 

Again the bullpen did a good job

giving up two hits and a walk overgs three innings and an unearned run.

Again Munoz recorded the save.

Leody Taveras hit a two-run homer

to seal the win in the eighth inning.

It was his first home run since

coming to the Mariners. Taveras

who had struggled at the plate

recently after getting off to a

good start had two hits on the

day.

The Mariners now go Houston

to take on the Astros for four

games. The Astros lost Wednesday

to the Rays. Both them and the

Rangers are three and a half games

behind the Mariners. Playing a

four game series it would be nice

if the Mariners can split the series.

George Kirby is  going to start his 

first game of the season on Thursday.

He will be followed by Emerson Hancock, Bryan Woo and Luis

Castillo. Let's see how the M's do.
