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.

The Seattle Mariners lost 5-4 to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday afternoon, and it was the first time the Mariners were swept in a four game series by the Orioles since 1999.

Ichiro Suzuki opened the game with his 26th career leadoff homer and singled in the seventh for his 1,600th hit. Raul Ibanez homered and drove in two runs but the Mariners still came up just short.

Carlos Silva went seven innings for Seattle, giving up four runs and nine hits.  Silva got a no decision in the game while Eric O’Flaherty took the loss when he gave up a homerun in the 8th inning to Aubrey Huff.

The Mariners will continue their road trip as they now head to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays in a three game series.
