Mariners End Losing Streak and More On the Draft

Sunday afternoon the Seattle Mariners beat 

the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 on the road and 

end the five game losing streak.

The negative was that Emerson Hancock 

was hit and left with two outs in the second 

inning. The x-rays were negative. The Mariners 

next game will begin next Friday and Hancock 

will not pitch most likely until the end of the

homestand against the Cincinnati Reds on 

Wednesday July 22. 

The Mariners scored three runs in the 

second inning with highlight JP Crawford 

two run double. Weston Wilson playing 

right field hit a solo home run in the 4th

inning. In the same inning Randy Arozarena 

hit a three run homer making it 7-0.

A good way for him to go into the all-star 

game on Tuesday.

Bottom of the 8th the Rays had a two run 

homer for their only runs. Top of the  9th

JP Crawford had another double to drive

in the final run.

In the futures game both Kade Anderson 

and Ryan Sloan each pitched an inning.

Neither gave up a hit. Only minor leaguers 

for the Mariners in the game.

In the major league draft Sunday is round 

5 thru 20. Currently have picked thru round 

16 so four more to go.

Will go through details  in Monday. Six are 

position players while six are pitcher too. 

Go M's.
