trouble scoring runs even after the recent
trade line.
The Mariners lost Friday night to the Tampa
Bay Rays 2-1 in Seattle on current homestand.
This is the 24th time they have scored one
run or less this season. They have been
shutout 11 times in the season. Julio
Rodriguez hit a home run in the bottom
of the 9th with two outs. Close call right.
The Mariners are 3-3 so far in August
and 3-4 on this home stand with two
games remaining. The Mariners are now
4 games behind the Houston Astros.
The Mariners team batting average for
August is .225 slightly below the .229
for the season the worst in baseball.
In their last ten games hitting .217.
George Kirby will start Saturday night
for the Mariners. Before the game the
Mariners will unvail the top 50 players
in Mariners history as it is their 50th
year. Most of the those players will
be on hand.
Logan Gilbert pitched into the 7th
getting two outs before Bazardo
got the last out. Both runs by the
Rays were solo home runs in the
2nd and 3rd innings.
Jose Ferrer pitched the 8th giving
up one hit. Seranthony Dominguez
pitched the 9th and looked better
than his first outing. This time one
hit, one walk and struck out two.
Now we see on this special night
the Mariners can break out of their
hitting slump. Go M's.
