Awesome outing from Kuma in the middle-game they won (and Steve earned his 22nd save) but, little else to write home about in this series 😦

g86-89 | sad sacks in KC
another two ONE-run losses (13-18 overall, that’s a LOT of closest you can get)
g80 | Wade and the Big Bats . . .
oh, and that Edwin guy, and that Steve guy – they’re pretty special too 🙂
ON the MOUND
Hey there, the “other Wade” is fitting in quite nicely!
his second QUALITY start as a Mariner in as many tries
(and BOTH of them vs. great hitting teams) and he gave all props to Chris
SIX innings ~ THREE hits ~ TWO earned runs ~ FIVE strikeouts
the bully was even more spectacular!
Monty, Edwin and Steve (20th save!) combined for . . .
THREE innings ~ ONE hit ~ ZERO runs ~ ZERO walks ~ SIX Ks
AT the PLATE
Double-digit hits again 🙂
TWO doubles (Dae-Ho and Nellie)
THREE homers (Seth-again!, Kyle, Dae-Ho) TWO of them w/runners on

g79 | Tai the terrific!
ON the MOUND
Atta boy, Tai!
SIX.ONE innings ~ FOUR hits ~ ONE earned run ~ ZERO walks ~ FIVE strikeouts
the bully a mixed bag but, good enough . . .Â

- Steve did his thing (saving nearly every game he pitches)
AT the PLATE
Only NINE hits but nice ratio of runs . . .
Nellie with a double and Seth with a TWO-run shot

g77-78 | split with Pit . . .
Thankfully, I attended the win and it was a beautiful night out for baseball!
Started in the upper deck . . .Â
Stayed till sunset . . .
then ventured down . . .Â
Kuma was the old Kuma . . .
SIX.TWO innints ~ SIX hits ~ TWO earned runs ~ ONE walk ~ FOUR strikeouts
Edwin and Steve took it the rest of the way . . .
allowing only combined hit. Steve recorded his EIGHTEENTH save, preserving Kuma’s SEVENTH victory.
The bats went batty!
- TWELVE hits including TWO doubles (Ketel & Kyle) & a MONSTER 2-shot by Nellie
- each starter except Guti and Chris had at least ONE hit
- Guti had ONE of only TWO walks and scored
- Robbie and Kyle each had THREE hits
Nice plays in the field . . .
Despite an error by Dae-Ho, TWO double plays and a nice OF assist from Leonys
Mariners Win!!!
And, we won’t talk about the next night 😦
g75| lookie here, a series win!
Home stand off to a good start, baby steps . . .
ON the MOUND
Nathan retired EIGHT straight to start the game . . .
then allowed a run w/TWO out in the 3rd and a THREE-run shot in the 5th (he just can’t seem to get over that 5th inning hump) but, tonight it was enough for the W . . .
FIVE innings ~ FOUR hits ~ FOUR earned runs ~ TWO walks ~ THREE strikeouts
AT the PLATE
TEN hits ~ all singles ~ FOUR walks
~ Leonys, Robbie and Adam all with multiple hits
~ Dae-Ho w/TWO RBI

g70-73 | spittin’ bristles in DEtroit . . .
I can’t even . . .
the story of this series was gettin’ ’em on, not gettin’ ’em in when it really counted . . .
FIVE fer THIRTY-THREE w/RISP 😦
and, to add insult to  injury . . .
So, Adrian Sampson, called up to replace Wade Miley (who went on the DL earlier this month) didn’t get to make his second major leagues start, he experienced issues in his warm up in Detroit and now, is scheduled for elbow surgery 😦
tweets of the series . . .
g67 | Guti, Guti ~ have a day!
starting fast and adding on . . .
ON the MOUND
Kuma solid, just shy of quality (one too many runs, though one more inning)
SEVEN innings ~ NINE hits ~ FOUR earned runs ~ ONE walk ~ FOUR strikeouts
Bully nicely done . . .Â
Dave Rollins back for a bit and Steve w/his SIXTEENTH save
AT the PLATE
M’s bats were none too kind vs. their old pal Elias . . .
~ especially Guti – SIX rbi in FOUR innings (TWO homers and a bases-clearing double)
~ nice patience throughout the line up (SIX walks)
~ Robbie w/his NINETEENTH homer (most ever as an AL 2nd baseman)
IN the FIELD
* TWO dp’s turned, both: Kyle-to-Robbie-to DaeHo

g64-66 | of early leads, late losses, strikeout duels, bases-loaded walk-offs and finally – a win
salvaged!
g64 | Mariners 7 | Rays 8
w/ a 4-0 and 7-4 leads turning to a 7-8 loss – just not the pitchers’ day (hopefully Tai will be OK (left the game in the 4th) and the fielding didn’t help
g65 | Mariners 2 | Rays 3
Nathan had a nice outing (needed less pitches to go deeper) bp was great . . . till the 13th
g66 | Mariners 6 | Rays 4
great to see James with another solid outing, bats up and down the lineup and bp success
tweets of the series . . .
off to Boston they go . . .
g62 | 3 solo shots, one heartbreaker . . .
THREE total runs, all off solo shots – the first gave the M’s the lead, the second tied it, the third sealed the deal for the Rangers . . .
ON the MOUND
The silver lining was another solid start by James . . .
SIX.ONE innings ~ SIX hits (all singles ) ~ ZERO runs ~ TWO walks ~ SIX strikeouts
} Edwin and Joaquin kept the scoreless streak going and so did Steve until TWO outs in the 9th when Prince jacked one to tie it.
} Monty worked around a lead-off walk in the 10th, gave up a solo shot to lead off the 11th
AT the PLATE
Only SIX total hits w/Adam’s solo shot and Steve’s double the only for extra bases and only ONE walk
