Bombs Away

Tuesday night the Seattle Mariners 
won their eight game in a row.
They continue hitting home runs.

Final Mariners 8  New York 3

The Mariners didn't have first
baseman Josh Naylor who 
had to leave Monday night with
back spasms. He is day to day.
Tomorrow's game is a day game. 
We see if he will return or not.
The Mariners have Thursday 
off as they travel to Detroit to
play a three game series against
the Tigers Friday thru Sunday.

Patrick Wisdom start at first 
in Naylor's spot. He hit a two 
run homer in the bottom of the
second.  Leadoff hitter and right 
fielder Carson Benge hit a two
run homer as well to tie.  Later
in the sixth he hit a solo shot.
At that point the Mariners had
a comfortable lead. This
was the first time Benge had
more than one  homer in a
game in his career.

Both these home runs were off
Mariner's starter Logan Gilbert
who left right after that.Eduardo
Bazardo came in to get the 
final two outs  of the sixth on
a double play. He pitched the
seventh as well where he got 
out again on a double play.
Cooper Criswell pitched the
last two innings.  He gave up 
no hits while walking one and
striking out three.  This was
his 23 game of the season for
the Mariners where he has gone 
28.1 innings. He has an era 
of 2.86.

The Mariners took the lead in
the bottom of the 3rd when
Randy Arozarena scored when
an error happened when Luke 
Raley  hit a ball in short right
field.  Patrick Wisdom scored
in the 4th on a sacrifice fly 
by Julio Rodriguez in the 4th inning.

The game broke open in the 
bottom of the 5th when catcher 
Jhonny Pereda hit a three run
home run.  This was his second 
home run this season as well as
for his major league career.

Julio Rodriguez hit a home run
in the 6th inning to end the scoring.
Julio was hot in May with 10 of
his now 13 home runs. Tuesday 
night's home run is now his 125
of his career. 

Wednesday afternoon the Mariners 
will see if they can their 9th game
in a row as well as sweeping three
series in a row.  George Kirby will 
start. Go M's.
