four games at home against the Texas
Rangers. Three of the games were close
except the opener the Mariners won.
Sunday afternoon the Mariners beat
the Rangers 5-4. Though they added
more offense the scores are still by
one run. We hope this improves over
the weeks ahead. The pitching should
improve and have the bullpen not
have to pitch so many innings.
The Mariners had three home runs
that helped them win.. Jorge Polanco
had a solo home run in the second
inning putting the Mariners up 1-0.
Corey Seager had a home run to
put the Rangers up briefly then Julio
Rodriguez had a two-run homer in
the third inning making it his 20th
of the season and his career 100th
home run. Also four years hitting
at least 20 home runs. In the 4th
inning JP hit another two-run homer
in the series to make the difference.
Saturday the Mariners used seven
pitchers in relief and fortunately
only three in this one. The Mariners
have Monday off so that will help
the bullpen and take on the Chicago
White Sox beginning on Tuesday.
The Mariners are now two and a half
behind the Astros after they lost
again on Sunday. The Astros have
injuries that are hurting them.
Go M's.
