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
- Edwin did his thing (striking out nearly everyone he faces)
- Joaquin did his thing (giving up runs to nearly everyone he faces)
- 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
~ Nellie, Kyle and Adam each w/ONE
IN the FIELD
Kyle again flashing the leather . . .

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 😦
