was a tough one to swallow. Luis Castillo
got off to a rough start giving up five
runs in the first inning. At least he was
able to get through undamaged after
that. Personally I think if the Mariners
can trade him during the off-season
it would be fine to me. He and Bryan
Woo have been the only ones who have
been healthy all season long though
Castillo's fastball hasn't been where
it should be.
In the fifth inning the Mariners were able
two get two three-run homers from
Randy Arozarena and Eugenio Suarez
however that was short lived as the
Padres scored twice in the top of the
sixth inning. The Mariners had their
opportunities however could find a
way to score at least one run to tie
and another to win.
The Mariners bullpen did a good job
from the seventh inning on to give
a fighting chance. Now it is important
to go out and win Wednesday before
heading out on the road.
Final Padres 7 Mariners 6
The Houston Astros were beaten
by Colorado on Tuesday 6-1 at home.
The Mariners didn't lose any ground.
The Astros are up by one and a half
games. They have three more wins
on the road than the Mariners for
the disaster the Mariners had on their
last one. A decent road trip the Mariners
would be in first place.
Coming up the Mariners start a new
road trip at Cleveland for three to
end August. Hope to take two out
of three. Starting September 1st
they play three at Tampa Bay and
three at Atlanta before coming
back home. It is important the
Mariners take at least 5 out of nine
though six would be better. Can't
afford another disaster road trip.
This will tell us whether the playoffs
is still there. Go M's.
