game losing streak by beating the
Astro 9 to 6.
It wasn't as easy as you would think
although they could have scored more
runs. The Astros who have injuries
to their starting rotation the starter
in this game left after giving up three
runs in the first inning. They could
have scored at least a couple more
runs.
It got tough in the top of the second
inning for Emerson Hancock where
he threw 3 to pitches in the inning.
The Astros were able to score three
runs thing the game. Hancock though
was able to survive going through
five innings.
In the bottom of the fifth Randy Arozarena
hit a two run to end the tie. It was into
the second level. What I thought was
funny Randy hit his helmet a few times
right after the previous pitch. I think
he couldn't believe he didn't challenge
that pitch that was called a strike. You
have to decide fast to do so. If he
had challenged Randy might have
walked. I know the announcers didn't
see what I did it at least didn't mention
it.
In the 7th inning the Mariners scored
four runs to make it 9-3. That didn't
last long as the Astros had two straight
singled in the top of the 8th than Yordan
Alvarez hits a three run homer to make
it 9-6.
In the top of the 9th with Andre Munoz
in he walked two batters however he
was able to strand both runners with
with a ball hit to Rivas at who ran over
to third and stepped on the bag to
end it.
This is a four game series so important
to win the first game. Luis Castillo will
start Saturday in game two. All nine
position players scored a run. Ten
Mariners were walked in the game.
In his second game Kade Anderson
ended up striking out 11 of his first
14 batters. He ended up going five
innings. Let's see how he goes in
his next outing for Arkansas.
