Mariners Continue Rough Ride

After beating the White Sox the Mariners 
lost the last two games against the 
Royals who have had trouble with 
their offense though.

Final Royals 8 Mariners 6

Though it shows the Mariners 
scored six it happened later in 
the game.  The Mariners had a 
home run by Julio Rodriguez 
in the first inning. It actually 
stayed that way until the Royal
scored four runs in the 5th
inning off of Woo. 

The Royal got two hits of Woo in the fifth. Both  runners were able to move along 
to second and third. They were 
able to get Bobby Witt jr. on a pop
up first however the next runner 
bunted with two strikes to move
those guys. 

The next hitter they walked after 
Witt they intentionally  walked after 
having two balls.Salvador Perez 
singled to drive in two runs. The 
next batter drove  in Perez and the 
other guy. My thought they should 
have walked  Witt and at worse had 
given up a run to tie. At that point 
4-1 Royals. The Royals scored another 
in the 6th.

Perez hit another hit in the 7th to
drive in another run.  This was after
the Mariners scored two runs with
singles by Colt Emerson and JP.
In the 8th the Royals scored two 
more runs two make the difference.

Julio Rodriguez singled to drive in
Emerson then Naylor drove in Julio 
and Arozarena hit a double to score
Baylor to make it at least interesting.
So we could say the early part of the
game cost the Mariners. Emerson
was 4 for 4. Raised his average to
.286.

Now the Mariners go the Sacramento 
to take on the A's. This is an interesting 
series to keep the Mariners in it.

At this point it looks like Mariners will
will start Luis Castillo on Monday with
Bryce Miller piggy backing on him.
losing Sunday's game is that a good 
idea or not. I like where it is important 
for the Mariners to win the first game
of a series. Stay tuned. We will see the
results whether the Mariners will keep 
going with it.  Go M's.
