Awesome starting pitching, nails bp, power AND manufactured runs and (my personal favorite) SPARKLING defense ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Congrats to Kyle Seager!

His 35th homer accounted for his 100th RBI ~ both career highs ~ and put him in the M’s history books as only the 9th Mariner to accomplish the combined feats

ON the MOUND

  • Way to go, Flex! Doesn’t get a whole lot better than 7IP-3H-1R-1ER-2BB-8SO = 13th W
  • Castillo retires the side in the 8th for the H
  • Steckenrider allows a leadoff double but, gets the next three batters for his 11th S

AT the PLATE

  • As mentioned, Seager with a pretty special homer – giving the M’s a lead they would not relinquish!
  • Mruphy w/ an RBI single
  • France with his 17th homer
  • Torrens with a sac-fly

IN the FIELD

JP, Dylan, Jarred with awesome play after spectacular play after superb play – LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it ❤

Kikuchi rare off-night: 5IP-8H-5R-5ER-3BB-5SO

the bp of Chargois+Middleton+Steckenrider+Seawald was it’s typical stellar self allowing only TWO hits over FOUR scoreless innings but, alas, too little, too late 😦

AT the PLATE

only THREE total hits but, FOUR runs, thanks to Murphy’s THREE run homer

the other run was via a wild pitch

No DPs

No errors

boxscore

ON the MOUND

  • such a shame Kikuchi didn’t get the W: 7IP-3H-0R-0ER-3BB-6SO
  • BP of Graveman+Montero+Sewald combined for FIVE runs allowed

the solo shot off Graveman in the 8th was the FIRST run he’s allowed all season

AT the PLATE

  • each team had EIGHT hits
  • M’s had double the doubles (TWO: Murphy, Moore)
  • M’s had double the homers (TWO: Fraley, Moore)

but, the walks (TWO) and singles (TWO) made their 9th inning double hurt and then the single, IBB and throwing error in the 10th downright painful

IN the FIELD

  • TWO DP’s (Seager-Moore;Bauers-Crawford-Bauers)
  • TWO errors (Seager, Moore)
