Mariners vs. Pirates Game Highlights (8/17/24) | MLB Highlights

Last night, the Pirates extended the Mariners losing streak to four straight games. The pitching has been there day in and day out. The Mariners got to get the offense going. That's obvious falter making a career high 21st start of the season today for the Pirates as well as just his fourth start since returning from the injured list on July 30th Bailey in 20 starts so far has a 407 a 101 and two thirds innings pitched. Here's a swing and a fly ball softly hit left center field. It's going to drop in for a base hit bliss leadoff single right away. And that's what the Mariners need. A bunch of base hits and a score some runs. Randy batting 2, 18 for the year 16 home runs and 42 runs batted in the fastball. That's exactly what I was talking about that fastball right at the bottom of the zone. And with two strikes there, Robles is likely looking for Bailey to spend something. Goes, Robles pitch on the way swing and a miss throw down a second, not in time. Victor hugging the second base bag as he slides in at first with his 18th stolen base of the year zero to two on Julio Rodriguez with a runner at second base swinging a hard ground ball right to the shortstop. Kiner-Falefa throws to third and the tag by Hayes is in time to get Robles. Not a good idea. Baserunner mistake by victor right there because the ball was hit right at the shortstop kiner for LEFA and victor is out at third for the second out of the inning and the pitch on the way , swing and a broken bat looper into shallow right field, that's going to drop in for a base hit julio to second. He'll check in there up with the ball is bay, gets the throw in. So Polanco breaks his bat loops one into shallow right and now the Mariners have runners on at 1st and 2nd with two outs and that's where the baserunning mistake costs you. That's a run right there if Robles doesn't get thrown out at third base, if he just holds at second, Peppa angling and getting the force and falter gets out of it in the first. Luis Castillo has a 104, A, he's three and one with four walks and 34 strikeouts and now his fifth start against national league opponents this year. So he's like coming back to the national league. It's this one in the air to center field, sending Robles back to the track approaching the wall and has homered in Pittsburgh, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa points to the bucko bullpen. One. Nothing Pirates certainly doesn't care if Luis Castillo has enjoyed coming back to the National League first as a pirate. What a great addition he's been , got a situation here, runners at the corners with two outs. They had a couple of opportunities last night and couldn't come through and now another opportunity right now with two outs to try and tie this thing up. And here's victor Robles who lit up the game with a base hit the left center in a line drive to left field. Here comes on to score from third. This game is tied at 1 to 1. Victor Robles with his second base hit already. This one wrapped in an RB I. Victor comes through in the clutch and that's exactly what the Mariners have been looking for. Here is Randy Ros Arena, Randy trying to keep it going, swing and a miss for strike three and that is going to retire the side , the leadoff walk here in the second. Here's keep ryan A zero for four last night, 235 hitter swinging a ground ball to third tricky hop handled by Dillon Moore down to second one, the relay by Polanco in time for the double play fairly routine. Hit right at Dillon Moore third for Polanco plenty of time early. The runner had to get down on the ground real quick. Two outs and Luiss up the strikeout walked in, hurting double play was very helpful. That's one away one pitch, one down here. The third Triolo the second baseman batting ninth today for the Pirates strike three called freeze on the slider that was vicious right over the inside corner. All Triolo could do was look, that's the second punch out for Castillo and he's made quick work of the first two hitters here in the third inning swing and a miss, he just blew it by him. 97. Come hit this a strikeout 123 innings for Castillo Castillo retired five hitters in a row at bat to start the fourth by o'neil Cruz drawing the walk. Nice job coming back from down two strikes to work a walk. There goes Cruz, it's taken for a ball inside and Cruz will steal second head, first dive. Feeling really good. Stone base number 13. What a great time to steal a bag. Here's Tae Bo to short in the first inning. Cruz at second one out fly ball to right center field to the wall and is gone a home run for Ronnie Telez. The Pirates a 3 to 1 lead decides to go to the slider to right here, made him pay for it dearly, two hits. Today, they have made him count both long balls. Now the Mariners have six hits. The Pirates have two but the Mariners all singles. Bailey has done a nice job of limiting the exit velocity of the Seattle. Here's Julio Rodriguez. He's grounded out and flied to right swinging a hardy ground ball through the left side for a base hit for the Mariners will get the tying run up to the plate here in the fifth inning. Julio swinging a great bat seven hits. Now for the Mariners Polanco has one of them swinging a line drive to right center field. This one is going to get down extra bases. Julio heading for third up. The ball is Bay. Julio being waved in by manny, the throw in his cut off. The real of the plate. Julio scores standing up the RB I double and the Mariners are right back in it. It's a 32 ball game nicely done there by julio didn't overextend himself. I watched them all away. That's good stuff comes back to secure that two out walk, third walk of the game allowed by Castillo. So now kind of falefa with a two out chance another 3 to 2 pitch and up the middle and a base hit just a flare into center field for IKF going to third triolo and the table is set here comes o'neil Cruz and the 2 to 2 on the way in a swing and a miss for strike three. And that's going to retire the side strikeout number six for luis Castillo and his biggest strikeout of the afternoon falter back out there to face Dylan Moore. He has struck him out twice swing and a miss, he strikes out Dylan Moore for the third straight time. So both the Rose Arena and Moore now with on their scorecard and number seven on the day for Falter Greeley, the lefty hitter to play right field in the fifth strike three called. How about Bailey Falter? He's got eight punch outs that fastball command has been real good for him. Bailey faltering a season high with eight strikeouts on a roll here in the sixth inning. That pitch count up there. He will leave the action after five and two thirds Castillo back out there for the bottom of the sixth inning to face Joy Bart drive to left center field by Bart toward the fence. It'll short hop the fence and Joey Bart rips one into center field for a double to start the bottom of the sixth. Now it's Brian de La Cruz who has walked and struck out, hit in the air to right shallow going to drop in for a hit. Bart going to be waved home and the balls dropped by luke Raley into second base. Pirates take a 42 lead in the sixth. It's a mess up by Raley that Bart had to hold up a little bit at the beginning. He's not sure, you know, is that ball going to be caught? You know, it's a little pop fly out there. So whether he was going to score or not was really up in the air there. Triolo batting ninth today, the second baseman for the Pirates high fly ball to left sending a rose arena back toward the track , approaching the wall. Clear the deck cannon ball coming big three. Number five Pirates having some fun on a Saturday afternoon, Triolo makes it five to two hanging slider right here. Little part of the zone does a really nice job of just throwing the barrel of the bat down on this baseball. Great feeling. I'm sure for Triolo hitting his fifth home run in his first since June 25th pitcher for the Mariners is the lefty Taylor Saucedo. Now he has to face a right hand hitter, Julie Bart crushing lefties. Bart cracks this one toward right center field that's going to split the gap racing toward third IKF. He will score easily as Joey Bart delivers again. Joey Barrels rips one into the right center gap to score kiner Bofa from first and the Pirates have opened up now a 62 lead in the seventh inning. This feels like a much better match up for Taylor Salcedo Telez hits this in the air the other way. The line Rose arena drifting back and that win really carries it. It drops fair into the corner, it goes and bounces out of play and runner Bart scores to make it 7 to 2 and he kicked it into the seat, misread it off the tip of his glove and bounces into the stands, trades places with Bart seven to two. Pittsburgh one on one away that will bring up Justin Turner in the air to right bay back and it is going to be caught as he backpedals on the warning track and backs up against the wall Gwan Bay stayed with it hard to backpedal all the way like he did, but he was able to make that play shows you the athleticism of bay out there. A walk two hit batters after Dennis Santana pitched two scoreless Santana 28 pitches 22 for strikes, troll issues here for Domingo Herman pitching change coming up, David Bednar summoned he loaded nobody out one swing away from making this a one run game. Here's the pitch from Bednar and it's a pop up shallow, right, dropping quickly and a great catch by bay. T one bay racing in from right diving catch out. Number one runners hold a good possibility. That's game saver there. If he doesn't catch this ball, he's going past it huge, huge play for bay and Randy's had a rough day old for Floyd with four strikeouts, but he can erase that with one swing of the bat struck him out two quick ones from Benard. The bat goes sailing out of the hands of randy all the way down the third base line to the bag and the Mariners now have two down here in the top of the fifth and a rough afternoon for randy his fan five times. Now it's julio Rodriguez two outs. He out David Bear comes on, puts out the fire and the Bucks are back. They've won two in a row against Seattle and now the Mariners have lost five in a row on this road trip.
