an excellent job winning in extra
innings. Now they have won seven
straight games. This all done with
only with four hits. Bonus they won
the opening game of the series.
Final Mariners 3 NY Mets 2
The game went into 10 innings
The two runs each team had in
regulation were all on solo home
runs.The Mariners scored first
with a home run by Colt Emerson
his third since arriving on May 17
in the third inning.
The Mets scored their two home
runs in the fifth and sixth inning
off Emerson Hancock. The only
hits that he gave up in six innings.
Hancock didn't walk any and struck
out seven. So far Hancock has been
the Mariners best starter on the
season and why they are going to
six man rotation after doing the
piggy back for three times. This
means that the Mariners have
seven relievers in the bullpen.
Josh Naylor tied in the bottom of
the seventh with his sixth home
run of the season. The Mariners
four relievers in the ball game
didn't give up a hit. Only thing
keeping it not perfect was Matt
Brash hit a batter in the 8th.
In a surprise move Randy
Arozarena stole third base to
help setup the winning run on
a single to left field by Cole
Young who has done quite
well in clutch situations.
This year the Mariners are
doing well in extra innings
unlike they have done in
recent seasons. Gabe Speier
struck out two batters in the
top of the 10th to record the
victory. Logan Gilbert who
struggled for a short period
has started well in his last
three goes to the mound on
Tuesday evening.
The Mariners are now 32 -29
and are two and a half games
above the Texas Rangers leading
the division.
The Mariners next road trip will
begin this Friday with three at
Detroit followed by four against
the Orioles in Baltimore. The ten
game road trip will end with three
against the Nationals in Washington
DC. This will be a tough trip however
it will be good if they can come
home with a winning record.
Go M's.
