Nice the Mariners Didn't Get Swept

Wednesday night the  Mariners beat the
Angels 7-2.  George Kirby had a tough
night and didn't make it through five 
innings though he tried.  Kirby had poor 
control walking five guys which isn't him.
Also gave up five hits. The Angels weren't 
able to take advantage to score more runs.
Probably why they have 58 wins despite
winning the first goes in the series. 

Former Mariner Yusei Kikuchi started for
the Angels and control problems too. He
lasted the same as Kirby however the 
Mariners were able to score four runs off 
him. Kikuchi hasn't done well this season
having a record of 1-6 and an era of 5.02.
Of course it hasn't stopped others pitchers 
with similar record to beat the Mariners.

The Mariners did do something in this game 
that they haven't done often enough this
season they scored all seven runs without 
hitting a home run. 

Cal Raleigh was the hitting hero as he had
two hits with three runs batted in. Josh
Naylor  was honorable mention as he drove
in two runs on two hits. Also Randy Arozarena 
made honorable mention. Although he didn't 
drive in any runs he scored three times. 

The Mariners used Andre Munoz in the 9th
although it was not a saved situation. Had
he not pitched in this one and with Thursday 
off he wouldn't have pitched four days until
Friday's game.  This allows the Mariners not
to pitch him in Colorado if it isn't a save 
situation on Friday.

Bryan Woo will start Friday against Colorado 
followed by Bryce . Miller on Saturday and 
Kade Anderson on Sunday. The Rockies 
haven't announced yet who they will started 
in this series.  Go M's.
