the Orioles 3-0 Thursday afternoon.
This was after a road trip where they
went 4-6.
The Mariners scored three runs in the
first inning and nothing thereafter.
All three runs happened after two outs
as well. Both starters went seven
innings. This allows the Mariners rest
for most of the bullpen.
Josh Naylor singled after missing the
first two games of the series. Dominic Canzone who has been the Mariners
hottest hitter of late end up walking.
Cole Young who has had a good season especially driving in Naylor with a double.
Rookie and Mariners top prospect Colt
Emerson singled bringing in Canzone
and Young.
The only other two hits for the Mariners
were by Victor Robles and Miles Mastrobuino.
Robles was in the lineup since Luke Raley
is trying to get over an injury. We see whether
he will be back against on Friday night. Also
in center with Julio Rodriguez out with his
hamstring. Julio expected day to day.
Other injuries meant Canzone in right
field with Arozarena on the injured list
and Cal at dh. Mitch Garver catching.
Expect him to catch a game against
the Red Sox. It could be on Sunday
although it might depend on a lefty
pitching.
Bryan Woo who pitched awful to say
the least on the road trip was back
to his oldself gave up only three hits
in his seven innings. He walked one
while striking out seven.
Eduardo Bazardo pitched the 8th
without a hit and struck out one.
In my opinion he should have been
the first reliever in Wednesday night
game when down 3-1.
Andre Munoz who has been struggling
in the 9th inning for much of the season
walked two to make it interesting rnd.
He ended up getting the final batter
on a third strike.
Bryce Miller is expected to start
Friday night as the Mariners are
going back to the piggyback once
again. Bryce was excellent on the
rosd trip in his two starts. The
big question is how far will he go
if he continues his fine pitching
and Luis Castillo will come into
the game.
The Mariners have said that all
six starters will be involved until
the all-star break at least. We will
have to see how that works.
It will be interesting how the bullpen
works into as well. Stay tuned.
The Mariners right now are two
games ahead of the A's who are
home against the Angels who
are dead last in the West division.
The Angels win it will be two
and a half lead. The Rangers are
three back but lost to the Twins.
The Astros are four back but have
the day off and play the Cleveland
Guardians in a weekend series
beginning Friday.
The Red Sox are dead last in the
American League east 16 games
behinf the Yankees. The amazing
thing is they are playing much
better on the road then at home.
They are 12-25 at home while
17-18 on the road. They are 2-8
in their last ten games. The Blue
Jays just swept them at home.
The two wins though were against
the Rangers in the series before
that at home.
The Mariners are the only team with
a home winning record in the West
division while the A's have the only
winning record on the road. We will
see which Mariners team and Red
Sox to show up. Go M's.
