rolled over the Los Angeles Angels
7-2.
George Kirby didn't have his A game
starting however was able to go
six innings and giving up the two
runs. He walked the unusual three
batters and hit one as well. He did
strike out nine though.
The Angels scored first on a Taylor
Ward home run in the second inning
then Julio Rodriguez tied it the third
inning with a home run of his own.
It was his 4th of the series in three
games. He loves hitting in Anaheim.
The Mariners took the lead in the
4th with red hot Randy Arozarena
hitting a solo home run. The Angels
tied in the 5th. Cal Raleigh hit his
40th of the season in the 6th and
Mariners scored three more times.
It became bizarre after Arozarena
walks. He steals second base then
the home plate umpires sends him
back to first because Josh Naylor
wasn't in the batters box or that is
what the umpire thought. It became
a heated discussion between the
home plate umpires and M's manager
Dan Wilson. It was a surprise he wasn't
kicked out. After being settled Arozarena
stole second again. Naylor walked.
The Angels changed pitchers and Jorge
Polanco walked too. Mitch Garver popped
out however Dominic Canzone hits a
single to score Arozarena and Naylor.
Polanco went to third.
Ben Williamson striked out then JP hit
a grounder to second baseman and it
bizzare to as Canzone could have been
tagged however the second baseman
tried to get JP instead at first but the
throw was late and Polanco scored.
Julio grounded out to end the inning.
There was no scoring after that.
Trent Thornton pitched the 7th
and 8th inning. The 7th was easy
however the Angels had two hits
in the 8yh however Thornton got
out of hit with a double play. Carlos
Vargas pitched the 9th throwing
only five pitches.
Sunday is a big day for the Mariners
fans and all of Japan as Ichiro gets
Inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame
in Cooperstown New York. Ichiro was
the first Japanese position player to
play in the major leagues. He played
in Japan until he was 27 years old.
In the major leagues he was able to
get over 3000 hits which is always a
big accomplishment and with his hits
in Japan he has more hits than anyone
combining both in Japan and in the
majors.
Ichiro was not only an accomplished
hitter he was pretty good defensive
player as well with a cannon of an
arm. It would take pages here if we
added up all his accomplishments
in the majors as well as Japan.
We thank you Japan for us especially
Mariners fans to see Ichiro in action.
The induction starts mid morning in
Seattle on Sunday however very
early Monday in Japan. May everyone
enjoy it along with the other players
being Inducted. Go Ichiro. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
