the Cincinnati Reds 8-0 in another important
game and beginning of the series.
Mariners didn't score until the 5th inning
when Julio Rodriguez was able to make
it to first base on an infield hit and Victor
Robles scored. Robles had a perfect game
going four for four.
George Kirby pitched a good game giving
up only three hits leaving after the 6th
inning. George Kirby could have stayed
in but with the all star break and he hadn't
pitched in a while leading by one was that
the right move.
Nick Navila who gave up that grand slam
on Friday pitched a perfect 7th inning. In
the bottom of the inning Colt Emerson
who turned 21 on Monday came in with
the bases loaded hit a sacrifice fly giving
the Mariners a second run.
Weston Wilson had come in for Julio
in the top of the 7th inning and Robles
moved to center field. Luke Raley pinch
hit for Buddy Kennedy who played in
llace of JP Crawford who had been
scratched. Luke Raley scored on
Wilson's double. Canzone was walked
intentionally to face Cal Raleigh even
though the Reds had lefty Caleb Ferguson
who played for Mariners last year after
being acquired at the trading deadline .
Cal though on the very first pitch hit
a grand slam home run to make it
7-0. Serves the Reds right.
In the 8th Cal was up again and end
in a force iut however Colt Emerson
scored. Wilcoc pitched the 8th
followed by Rucker in the 9th. None
of the three low leverage pifchers
gave up a hit. Rucker in fact struck
out all three batters he faced. Now we
see what relievers go tomorrow.
The Texas Rangers lost so the Mariners
are back in first place by a half a game.
Luis Castillo will start Tuesday.. The
Astros beat the Marlins so they are
three and a half behind the Mariners.
The A's and Angels won too . Go M's.
