The Seattle Mariners and the Cleveland Indians were tied 2-2 heading into the ninth inning and that is when the Mariners exploded for five runs in the ninth inning.  Adrian Beltre provided three of those runs with a three run home run in the inning.

Besides Beltre’s three RBI, Jose Vidro and Yuniesky Betancourt both had two RBI at the plate.

Carlos Silva got a no decision in the game even though he pitched pretty good.  Silva threw seven innings and gave up seven hits and two runs.  Silva kept the Mariners in it so they had a chance to win in the ninth inning.  Mark Lowe ended up pitching in relief and picking up the win.  It was Lowe’s first win of the season.

The Seattle Mariners got out to a 5-0 lead after three innings but could not hold onto that lead as they lost to the Baltimore Orioles 8-7 on Thursday night.  Anytime you are up 5-0 that early in the game, you need to not let up and continue to put pressure on the other team.  The Mariners did not do that and that is why they lost.

Jarrod Washburn pitched five innings and gave up six hits to and two runs.  Wasburn didn’t pitch too badly, it was the bullpen that really blew the game for the Mariners.  Roy Corcoran, Mark Lowe, and Sean Green all gave up one run.  Arthur Rhodes actually gave up three runs without even recording an out.  Green ended up taking the loss and is now 1-1 on the season.

At the plate for the Mariners, Ichiro and Adrian Beltre both hit home runs.  Beltre hit a solo shot in the second inning while Ichiro and a two run shot in the seventh inning.  Ichiro and Jose Vidro led the team with two RBI each.  Beltre, Jose Lopez, and Raul Ibanez all finished the game with one RBI.

The Seattle Mariners broke a 2-2 tie in the eigth inning on a Jose Vidro single that scored two runs as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Tuesday night.  The Mariners only had five hits on the night, but that was enough to beat the Orioles who stranded 15 runners on base.

Arthur Rhodes picked up the win as he pitched in relief of Felix Hernandez.  Hernandez tossed seven innings and allowed six hits but only one run.  He got out of plenty of jams in the game as he struckout seven batters.  J.J. Putz picked up the save which was his second of the season.

The Seattle Mariners took a big win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday 4-2 behind the great pitching of Miguel Batista putting them at 10-10 for the year.  The Mariners held the Angels to a scoreless game until the bottom of the ninth when the Angels started to rally but didn’t have quite enough to take home the win. 

Batista came onto the mound to open the game and stayed there for seven and two thirds innings and even though he gave up 8 hits, no Angels’ runners were able to reach home plate.  Ryan Rowland-Smith was brought it to finish off the night and was able to secure his 2nd save of the season.

Seattle was swinging hard with Richie Sexton driving a home run putting him at five the season and a pair of RBIs as well. Ichiro Suzuki and Jose Lopez each picked up RBIs as well. 

Coming off a 4 game winning streak do you think that the Seattle Mariners have what it takes to go up against the Balitmore Orioles ranked number 2 in the American League East?  I think the Mariners will do really well against the Orioles.

The Seattle Mariners picked up a much needed win against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night by the score of 4-2.  Starting pitcher Felix Hernandez tosses a complete game for the Mariners to pick up his second win of the season.  Hernandez allowed eight hits and two runs, only one of the runs was earned however.

Jose Vidro led the Mariners with two RBI while Raul Ibanez and Adrian Beltre both had one RBI.

The Seattle Mariners finally figured out the Kansas City Royals pitching staff as they scored 11 runs as they beat the Royals 11-6 on Tuesday night.  After having a complete game thrown at them on Monday, the Mariners came out swinging early and often.

Jose Lopez had four RBI for the Mariners, and three of them came on sacrafice flies.  Lopez is just the 12th player in major league history to hit three sacrafice flies in a game.  Yuniesky Betancourt tallied three RBI, Kenji Johjima had two RBI, while Raul Ibanez and Willie Bloomquist chipped in with one RBI each.

Starting pitcher Miguel Batista struggled for the Mariners but he did pick up the win after pitching five innings and allowing seven hits and four earned runs.  Ryan Rowland-Smith also had some trouble as he had two earned runs in only one inning of action.

The pitching staff is really lucky that the offense scored 11 runs, or the Mariners would have probably lost this game the way the pitchers pitched.

The Seattle Mariners didn’t have much of a chance on Monday night against the Kansas City Royals as Royals pitcher Zack Greinke was on the top of his game.  After it was all said and done, the Mariners only had five hits on the night, and only scored one run.  That definately won’t get it done against this year Royals team.

The one Mariners run came off the bat of Ichiro when he grounded into a fielders choice in the 3rd inning.  Other then that, the Mariners bats were silent against Greinke.

Jarrod Washburn took the loss for the Mariners on the mound.  Washburn pitched six innings and gave up three earned runs while striking out six batters.  He did give up two home runs however which accounted for all three earned runs.

Sean Green gave up one earned run without even recording an out.  Roy Corcoran also gave up an earned run as he pitched one inning.

The Seattle Mariners got shutout by the Tampa Bay Rays 7-0 in Thursdays ballgame.  The Mariners only had three hits in the ballgame, and only two of those were in the first eight innings of the game.  You can’t win when you only hit the ball three times!

There isn’t much to talk about the offense, other then they sucked it up against Edwin Jackson who dominated them for eight innings.

On the pitching side of things, Miguel Batista pitched six innings and gave up eight hits and four earned runs as he picked up the loss.  Batista is now 0-2 on the season.  He better turn it around in a hurry!

Eric O’Flaherty only got one out, and gave up one hit and three earned runs.  Terrible job by Batista and O’Flaherty on the game.
