Mariners Bounce Back

First of all  Cal Raleigh went on the
injured list.  Mitch Garver started 
on Friday. He actually hit a home 
with a runner on base. The score at 
the became 5-1.

Final Mariners 8. Astros 3

Julio Rodriguez  had no hits on
the day however the rest of the
lineup made up for him. Julio
has had a good month hitting
so an off day is ok especially like 
this.

Luke Raley started off hitting a
three run homer in the first inning
followed by Mitch Garver's. It 
would be nice if the Mariners 
could start Raley some games 
against lefties. He might not hit
lefties well however he won't get
better if he doesn't face any. 

Cole Young hit a double to bring
in the next two runs and JP Crawford 
with the final run on a double too.
This tells me the Mariners don't have 
always hit home runs to score.

Alvarez hit a home run in the third
inning for the Astros first run.  
Before he was taken out in the 
6th inning Luis Castillo gave up 
two runs on a double that Alvarez 
scored on again. Outside of that
Castillo pitched well. If he and
Miller peggy back on each other
should he start and Miller come
in. Being a long time starter 
Castillo get the chance. I could see
him go five innings and Miller four.
It could be the other way around 
depending on the game. 

Emerson Hancock will start Friday
at home against the San Diego 
Padres. Logan Gilbert will start 
Saturday and George Kirby Sunday.
They take on the White Sox at home
Monday thru Wednesday. Go M's.
