g36 | another roller coaster ride that didn’t end well . . .

roller coaster

The first time the M’s have lost two in-a-row since April 19th
First series loss since April 11-13 vs. Texas
figures it would be the (currently) lowly Halos 😦

ON the MOUND
Kuma was hanging in nicely, until the 7th when it all unraveled . . .
a lead-0ff homer, a double, a single and the Halos took the lead and Kuma made an exit
SIX.ONE innings ~ NINE hits ~ FOUR earned runs ~ ONE walk ~ TWO strikeouts

and the pitching definitely went downhill from there . . .
} Joel allowed back-to-back homers, giving the Halos a 6-2 lead
} Mayckol actually was good – ONE.TWO scoreless innings
} Steve, on the other hand, had his second consecutive blown save+loss

AT the PLATE
~ good news: double-digit hits and all the starters but one had at least one hit and the epic 8th inning comeback
~ bad news: only one walk and even though 4/10 w/RISP, soooo many blown opportunities

IN the FIELD
* Leonys’s first E
* nice DP to end the 1st (Kyle to Robbie to Adam)
* Steve C notches a caught stealing

split

ON the MOUND
Kuma ~ good and bad . . .
EIGHT K’s in FIVE innings = awesome!
98 pitches and THREE doubles allowed in FIVE innings = not so awesome 😦
FIVE innings ~ SEVEN hits ~ THREE earned runs ~ TWO walks ~ EIGHT strikeouts

Bully . . . 
} Mayckol retired the first three batters he faced in relief of Kuma but, then failed to record an out in the 7th allowing a couple singles, a couple stolen bases and a couple runs
} Monty and Steve each recorded a clean sheet inning

AT the PLATE
Not much to report here . . .
~ other than ANOTHER homer (ho-hum) by Robbie 😉
~ only FIVE total hits
~ and, only ONE walk

IN the FIELD
* couple of errors (Steve and Ketel)
* nice DP (Ketel to Robbie to Adam)

cant win em all

ON the MOUND
When Rick and Aaron started mentioning Tai’s velocity was down, it was a bit concerning, apparently for good reason as he was out of the game after TWO innings. Later, we would hear it was because of “neck spasms” (while not great news, better than shoulder/elbow issues) . . . .
TWO innings ~ TWO hits ~ THREE runs ~ ONE earned run ~ ZERO walks ~ ZERO strikeouts 

} Mayckol got through his first TWO innings of work (3rd and 4th) unscathed (a couple of walks but, no hits) then came the 5th – THREE singles and a sac-fly netted the ‘stros a couple more runs
} Mike and Steve combined for THREE innings: ONE run ~ THREE walks ~THREE strikeouts

AT the PLATE
~ Only FIVE hits (fewest since the ONE-hit victory over the Royals at home on April 29)
~ TWO went for extra-bases: Kyle’s double and Ketel’s THREE-run triple (accounting for ALL the M’s runs)
~ Kyle and Ketel were also the only batters w/multiple hits

IN the FIELD
* Ketel had a throwing error
* the Astros continued their stellar DEE show

some do well, some do not . . .

bull pen

ON the MOUND
We knew going into the game, it would be a bullpen day . . .
} Tony Zych started things off well, going TWO.TWO giving up THREE hits but NO runs or walks and FOUR strikeouts
} Mayckol Guaipe did not fair so well , giving up TWO runs on THREE hits and ONE walk
} Logan Kensing gave up ONE run and was only able to retire ONE batter
} Ron Rasmussen retired the only batter he faced via a strikeout
} JC Ramirez had the roughest night of all allowing THREE runs on TWO hits and a walk
} Joe and Dave each posted a scoreless inning
} Danny lasted TWO full and allowed ONE run on THREE hits and posted THREE strikeouts

AT the PLATE
TWELVE total hits but, only TWO for extra-bases . . .
~ both homers as Kyle (26th) and Nellie (44th) go back-to-back in the 5th (both career highs!)
~ Ketel had TWO hits and Jesus S had THREE! (first career THREE hit game)

IN the FIELD
not a terrific night in the field FIVE total errors (FOUR by the ‘stros)

ON the MOUND
Roenis through a ton of pitches but, kept ’em in it giving up only TWO solo shots . . . 
SIX innings ~ THREE hits ~ TWO earned runs ~ TWO walks ~ FIVE strikeouts

} Danny allowed a solo shot in the 7th and took the loss
} Tony, Joe and Mayckol combined for TWO scoreless

AT the PLATE
Ketel hit his FIRST Safeco Field homer (second total) but, other than that milestone, not much to see here . . .
only FOUR total hits (Ketel’s homer the only one for extra bases)

IN the FIELD
* TWO DPs, including this unassisted one from LoMo

comeback

ON the MOUND
Well, not exactly what you drew up for Edgar . . .
ONE.ONE innings ~ SIX hits ~ FIVE runs ~ FOUR earned runs ~ ONE walk ~ ZERO strikeouts

the pen (and when I say ‘pen, I’m talking nearly the ENTIRE bullpen) was stellar then bad then so-so, then stellar again . . .
} Jose went ONE.TWO hitless, scoreless (and ultimately would get the WIN)
} Tony and Mayckol combined for THREE innings and THREE runs
} Logan, Vidal, Carson and Tom combined for THREE innings w/FOUR hits and ZERO runs (Tom earned his NINTH save)

AT the PLATE
THIRTEEN hits, SIX for extra-bases . . . not too shabby!
~ Kyle, Stefen and LoMo all with multi-hit, multi-RBI nights
~ Ketel, Kyle, Stefen all with multi-hit. multi-run nights
~ Brad with only ONE hit but THREE RBI

IN the FIELD
* John with a nice caught stealing of Burns – TWICE!
* TWO dp’s turned

seesaw

ON the MOUND
Not Roenis’ best effort (too many balls and too many pitches) but, he hung in  . . .
FIVE.ONE innings ~ FIVE hits ~ FOUR runs ~ FOUR walks ~ FOUR strikeouts

on the other hand, NICE bullpen tonight!
Mayckol gave up a couple of hits and a run but, the rest of the pen (Logan, Carson and Tom) combined for TWO hits ZERO runs and ZERO walks with FOUR strikeouts. Bartender earned his SEVENTH save and Logan is FIRST win (since 2009)

AT the PLATE
NINE total hits, THREE for extra-bases . . .
~ Guti, Mark and LoMo w/homers (Mark and LoMo’s were both TWO-run shots, LoMo’s a PH GW!)
~ Seth with a triple
~ Kyle and John (!) each with a stolen base, Robbie got caught
~ Guti on fire! besides the homer he walked and scored in Brad’s single and singled and scored on Mark’s homer

IN the FIELD
Not such a stellar defensive effort . . .
* John and Brad each with throwing errors
* No DPs turned but, TWO turned agains them
