Mariners Make It Two

For  the second game in a row the

.Mariners beat the Astros on Saturday 

night 8-7. 

The Mariners began the game with 

a two run homer by Cal Raleigh in 

the first inning. The Astros scored

three runs in the second and third

then one run in the 4th. 

Luis Castillo who started gave up 

all seven runs on ten hits  before 

being lifted in the 4th inning with 

one out.  It looked dismall at the 

time. The Mariners used five 

relievers who gave up seven hits

however gave up no runs.

The Mariners scored five runs to

tie in the  5th inning. JP Crawford 

hit a single to drive in two runs.

Cal had a sacrifice fly to score 

Rivas then Julio had a home 

run scoring JP ahead of him. 

Everything was silent at least in

scoring until JP hit a single to 

short left field to score Rivas 

who had walked. 

Sunday the Mariners will look

to win the series with Logan 

Gilbert on the mound. 

Brendan Donovan is expected 

back on Sunday to start. How 

JP has done in these two games

I would leave him leading off

for the meantime. Go M's.
