Mariners 7 | Astros 2
When I made the choice several years ago to move to the southern most island in Puget Sound, I knew I attending games would be more of a challenge but, I still managed to get to every Opening Day as well as a handful of day games each season since moving. Then came 2020 and that little thing called a global pandemic – my only appearance at T-Mobile Park last season, like many fans, was as a cardboard cutout. I wasn’t able to make it to Opening Day this year so, today was my first time back at the ballpark since the middle of the 2019 season . . .
AND. IT. FELT. SO. GOOD!

Flexen -> 10IP-1R-1ER-0BB-3SO ~ to bad he was matched up against Greinke (who, apparently, still has it)
Bully of Sadler + Vest + Middleton = 3IP-0H-0R-0ER-1BB-2SO
AT the PLATE
Well, gotta tip your cap to Greinke . . .
only FOUR hits -all singles- and not a single walk!
Haniger’s hit streak comes to an end at EIGHT (and his on base streak at 14)

Mariners 6 | Astros 5
The scoreboard in this one was a see-saw indeed!
0-3, 2-3, 4-5, 5-5, 6-5
with the ‘stros only scoring in the 5th and 7th and the M’s scoring in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th
ON the MOUND
Kikuchi’s see-saw started off on the upside: 4.1 innings of ZERO hits. Then, a couple of rough innings -5th and 7th- where he was sorta singled to death (including TWO of the 2-run variety). But, even though his final line wasn’t spectacular, good to see him get through SEVEN: 7IP-6H-5R-5ER-3BB-3SO
Way to go, Bully!
Steckenrider & Misiewicz combined for 2 innings of ONE hit, ZERO runs, walks and TWO Ks

Nice quality start for Sheffield: 6IP-3H-2R-2ER-2BB-5SO ~ the TWO runs he allowed were in the bottom of the FIFTH so, left him out of the victory
