Mariners blunders doom them, as Tigers continue streak

Seattle - The Mariners did everything they could to continue the hot streak for the Tigers in this one, as three fielding errors, and blown chances with runners in scoring position doomed them in. Seattle had runners on third with one out twice and were unable to capitalize, once getting bailed out by Robinson Cano's two run homer, which ended up being the Mariners only offense of the game. They also got a lead off double by James Jones in the 5th, and were unable to get him over for another opportunity blown. Meanwhile on the defensive side, errors continued to give Detroit chances they shouldn't have had, until finally Dustin Ackley misplayed a fly ball that allowed the eventual winning run to score. The Mariners will try to pick up the pieces tomorrow against Drew Smyly (2-6, 3.49), while sending the red hot Felix Hernandez (5-5, 2.21 ERA) to the mound to face him.

Angels down M's 6-2

Seattle - Hank Conger was a triple away from the cycle, and Albert Pujols added 2 RBI as the Angels were able to take game three of this series from the Mariners. Chris Young got in trouble in the third inning thanks to an error on Brad Miller, the Angels plated three including a solo shot by Conger. The bullpen was able to settle things down, but the damage had been done as they could only muster one extra base hit the entire that game, and even that baserunner was short lived as Cano was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple. The two teams are back at it tomorrow as the Angels try to salvage a split by sending Hector Santiago (6-2, 4.12 ERA) to the mound to face Taijuan Walker (4-4, 4.14 ERA).

Mariners complete comeback. Down Angels in extras

Seattle - The Mariners continued their winning ways with an impressive comeback victory on Tuesday. The Mariners trailed 3-0 going all the way into the 7th, but Kyle Seager, and Corey Hart hit back to back home runs to tighten the gap to 3-2, after a scoreless eighth, Kyle Seager led off the ninth with a double. It looked like the Angels may escape though with back to back strikeouts by Hart, and Montero, but Robinson Cano came up with two outs and delivered the clutch hit that pushed the game into extras. Once there the Mariners got another Home run from Corey Hart to walk it off for the fourth time this year. The Mariners will try and put together their first three game winning streak since Apr 14-16 tomorrow against Wade LeBlanc (0-0, 0.00 ERA) making his season debut for the Angels against Chris Young (2-4, 3.76 ERA).

Felix electric again as Mariners take opener from Angels

Seattle - Felix Hernandez has righted the ship in a big way in June. His latest performance may have been his best yet, striking out 14 Angel hitters, including Mike Trout four times, and a hat trick for Josh Hamilton, as he used a three hit shutout to power the Mariners to a win. The Mariner bats came alive early on in the second inning against Tyler Skaggs, as Jesus Montero led off with a single, and Robinson Cano lined an RBI Double to kick it off. The Mariners would go on to tally four runs in the inning which was more than enough to back the electric King Felix. The Mariners have been playing better as of late, and look to continue their winning ways tomorrow against Jered Weaver (4-4, 3.61 ERA) while sending Hisashi Iwakuma (3-5, 3.86 ERA) to the mound.

Mariners drop series finale, split with Astros

Seattle - Jarred Cosart was dominant for the Astros, and they got timely hitting early on that proved to be the difference as they salvaged a 4 game split with Seattle. The Mariners lone run came on a bases loaded walk to Robinson Cano in the 5th inning. That was the only real threat the Mariners had all day. Meanwhie the Astros were powered by the hitting of Carlos Corporan, who went 3-4, and Robbie Grossman's solo home run in the third. James Paxton was effecient in his first start since returning from the DL going six innings, but could not get any run support from his offense. The Mariners now start another four game set tomorrow as the Los Angeles Angels come to town. Tyler Skaggs (3-1, 6.06 ERA) will take the hill for the Angels to face Felix Hernandez (4-5, 2.50 ERA) in the opener.

Mariners' bats erupt for blowout win

Seattle - The Seattle Mariners had all the bats working in this one, as almost everyone in the lineup had a hit and were driving in runs as they pounded out 13 runs on 16 hits for a convincing victory. Kyle Seager led the way with four hits, and three RBI's as his bat continues to heat up during this homestand. Meanwhile Taijuan Walker was shaky early on, giving up two home runs to Astros first baseman Chris Carter, but in the end the Mariners gave Walker too much run support for him to falter. The Mariners will now try to close out a series win tomorrow afternoon, and it is expected that James Paxton (3-2, 3.44 ERA) will be returning from his DL stint to make the start for the Mariners against Jarred Cosart (1-5, 5.59 ERA).

Mariners bullpen implodes as Astros take it 6-3

Seattle - It looked like another outstanding pitching performance for the Mariners, as thru six innings Erasmo Ramirez allowed no earned runs, but the bullpen could not duplicate the performance as they gave up four runs late, and the Mariners dropped this one 6-3. The big blow came from Jason Castro who hit a two run shot to break it open to 5-2 late. The Astros would get it to 6-2 before Kyle Seager hit a solo shot to make it a 6-3 game, which would hold up as the final score. The two teams are back at it again tomorrow as Jerome Williams (5-2, 3.64 ERA) will line up against Taijuan Walker (3-4, 4.07 ERA).

Iwakuma masterful as Mariners down Astros

Seattle - For the second time this season, the Mariners one hit the Houston Astros, as this time it was Hisashi Iwakuma doing the damage in the Mariners 2-0 win. Kuma was perfect through 7.2 until Alex Presley broke up the bid at history with 2 outs in the eighth. It would be the only baserunner the Astros would have however, as Kuma fanned 11 in a simply dominant offense. A James Jones RBI Double, and a solo moon shot by Corey Hart would prove to be all the offense the M's would need with Iwakuma's brillant performace. The two teams will be back at it tomorrow in Game 2 as Alex White (4-2, 5.57 ERA) will take on Erasmo Ramirez (0-1, 4.26 ERA).

M's best Darvish to earn Texas split

Arlington - The Mariners took advantage of a spotty Yu Darvish, coaxing six walks out of him, and eight total for the game as they were able to take a 5-3 victory and a series split. Dustin Ackley kept his hot bat going as he led the way for the Mariners with a 2-2, 3 RBI performance. Felix Hernandez was strong again for 7.2 innings as he notched his 4th win of the season. The Mariners now return home for a long homestand, and kick it off by hosting the Houston Astros. It will be Scott Feldman (3-3, 5.64 ERA) headed to the mound for Houston to face Hisashi Iwakuma (2-5, 4.53 ERA) in the opener.

M's drop opener in Texas

Arlington - The Mariners couldn't get the bats going in this one Managing just 4 hits, and Shin Shoo Choo hit a two run homer that proved to be the difference as the M's fell 4-2. The Mariners got two SAC Fly RBI's from Jesus Montero, and Mike Zuninio, but it wasn't enough to hurt the Rangers who put up four runs early and never looked back. The Mariners will now try to salvage this two game series by sending Felix Hernandez (3-5, 2.37 ERA) to the hill to take on Yu Darvish (5-2, 3.68 ERA).
