The Seattle Mariners are on a six-game losing streak More from Mariners News The team has been plagued with injuries, controversy at the beginning of the season, and now COVID-19. The best teams in any sport are the ones that can battle and succeed no matter the circumstances, and now is a great time for the Seattle Mariners to rise to the challenge. He talked about how this rough stretch for the Mariners will be a great test of character for the staff and players, and I concur. I was listening to the Seattle Mariners postgame show on the radio and Ryan Rowland-Smith said something that really resonated with me. There were over eight thousand fans from both teams in attendance.SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – MAY 18: Manager Scott Servais #9 of the Seattle Mariners walks to the pitcher’s mound. I think that if the Mariners had a few starters in the game, the score might have looked differently. The Mariners’ Cade Marlowe hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to make it 5-1, which would be the final score.Īlthough this was a loss, four out five runs were scored in the second inning when several of the Angels’ starters were playing. A wild pitch later allowed another score in. They had someone on base when Jo Adell hit a homerun making it 2-0. Taylor Jones would knock in two with a soft single that same inning, to make it 4-0. The Angels made four of their runs in the second inning. They too substituted other players in so we did not see Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani, for example, at the plate. The Angels started out with some familiar players: David Fletcher, Gio Urshela, Luis Rengifo, Jo Adell, and Mickey Moniak. Zach DeLoach from the Travelers and Harry Ford (not Mike's brother) from Modesto also played. The following players from AAA, Tacoma were substitutes: Kean Wong (younger brother of Kolten!), Mike Ford, Alberto Rodriguez (no relation to Julio), Drew Ellis, Jacob Nottingham, Leonardo Rivas, and Leonys Martin. Bukauskas (Tacoma), Darren McCaughan (Tacoma) for two innings, and Collin Kober (Arkansas). (High A affiliate, Everett) as the designated hitter, Mason McCoy (Tacoma) at shortstop, and Jonatan Clase (Single A, Modesto) at centerfield.Īfter Gonzales pitched the first two innings, he was followed by Matt Brash, Chris Clarke (new, from the Cubs), Matt Festa, J.B. Several players who have been moving up the ranks in the Mariners’ organization started as well: Cade Marlowe (AAA, Tacoma) in right field, Robert Perez, Jr. We saw several of the players who came to us from other teams: AJ Pollock from the White Sox in left field former Diamondback, Cooper Hummel, at catcher and Colin Moran from the Reds at 3rd base. Evan White, the Mariners' former first baseman returned to play that position and bat 3rd in the lineup after two years. Marco Gonzales was the starting pitcher Matt Brash and Matt Festa each had an inning of relief pitching. Mariners you would know from the 2022 season included Sam Haggerty or “Swaggerty,” who started at 2nd base and batted first.

I felt like I was seeing a future Mariners’ team although we may see several of them sooner because the players looked very good.

On a beautiful sunny, but windy, afternoon in Peoria, Arizona, the Mariners’ and the Angels’ lineups featured some familiar and newer faces.
