of this four game set happy you can join us from Mariners baseball here on Root Sports on a beautiful night for baseball temperatures right now in the low 80s as we are about to get underway for manager Dan Wilson lineup looks a little bit different Cal Ry dhing today gets a break behind home plate meanwhile we see Victor roace up in the order he had been batting leadoff for so long within JP Crawford back off the injured list today his sixth game in returning robl has been batting ninth until today where he has back up to the number seven spot so Ro blaz who's been swinging such a hot bat Ops in nearly 970 in his last 11 games a little further up they'll be facing off against JT gen who is making just his second Big League start yeah fourth appearance second Big League start ra just over five not a lot of innings for him just eight and two3 he went five innings his last time out and that was a start against the Reds gave up four runs in that outing so probably in the same neighborhood through 67 pitches he'll be right around there today [Music] JP trying to get things going since coming off the injured list he is looking for his first hit since being activated he's been on base a fair amount he's been walking a lot which is something he's always had in his toolbox well there's no doubt JP trying to get the bat heated up a little bit apparently we have a mic down down there some teammates maybe not appreciating that foul ball too much there's the onew well ask and you shall receive JP Crawford comes up with a leadoff single and there is that first Pace hit since coming off the injured list that's got to feel good a good start for the Mariners to begin the ball game tonight get out there again just his second start we hope that the Mariners can put some runs on the board early and here's the base hit right back up the middle Inside Out swing apparent crowd a little more sparse than it was yesterday on a holiday here's Julio Julio in yesterday's game with his 20th stolen base of the Season he joins icho as the only two Mariners to ever reach 20 steals in each of his first three major league campaigns I mean who knows what this game will hold for us was that you Mike excuse you sorry to disappoint you but no you know the vuu zaa did not arrive until uh Midway through the game yesterday is when I first noticed it that sounded more like an air horn but maybe not two and one as you see again he's going to try try to keep the ball on the ground pretty good Sinker as a slider and change up it's average fast ball at 94 mph well he is somebody that they think is part of the future for the Athletics this is hit on the button out to left field and it's over the glove of Seth Brown JP Crawford Wheels into third base he's held there and Julio continues to Sting the ball and just really pull it with authority takes advantage of a pitch over the plate and has a double in his first that bat and when he's able to do that that's a good sign for the Mariners in their offense exit vlo of 106 eqc Tracer has this pitch pretty much in the middle of the plate that's the Sinker they left up in the zone Brown not able to get to it that'll bring up cow [Music] count with a home run in yesterday's game he's now one home run shy of matching Dan Wilson for 19th all time in Mariners [Music] history he shoots this out to the Gap in right center field touches down for a base hit JP Crawford strolls home Julio is right behind him Cal Ry stands up with a two-run double and he has just set the Mariners alltime single season Mark the most RBI all time for a catcher in franchise history in one season now belongs to Cal Raleigh passing Dan Wilson back in 1996 and it's going to be on a change up solid line drive into the Gap actually off the outside corner does a nice job of staying with it Turners off to a great start Randy takes a fast ball over the plate for strike one so good start for the Mariners just like it was in yesterday's game that was Cal with a two-run home run in the first inning yesterday [Music] again is throwing it over the plate a lot early on today isn't he yeah it's pretty much in the middle of the plate and he's elevated his fast ball typically he wants to be at the bottom of the Zone but it hasn't been the case here in the first really reaches for that one fouls it off the plate that was a disappointing one yesterday for the Mariners they did get that early lead but unfortunately the A's with a couple of home runs ended up walking it off to take game one of this four game series that dropped the Mariners to 500 and they to get back on track start winning series again swing it a Miss for strike three there's the first down misses outside ball one to Luke rley rley 19 home run last season in a breakout year at career highs got a chance to get to 20 this year sits at 17 entering tonight's [Music] game come on now the Mariners needing a win today to avoid falling below 500 for what would be the first time since back in April rley ahead of the count two and one again not able to find the outside [Music] corner three and one now and the began this game with three straight hits including a pair of doubles from Julio and Cal Raleigh next pitch will be number 20 already for the rookie making just a second ever Big League start four runs over five innings in Cincinnati Forin and his first Major League start made a couple of appearances out of the bullpen before that for the A's strike three called Fast Ball Up In the Zone and there is out number [Applause] two so a couple of strikeouts for again fast at the top of the Zone eqc Tracer has it right at their top definitely a strike no argument from [Music] rley two outs of a man aboard for palano one thing is for sure the Mariners are trying to avoid a one-run game one-run games have not been the Mariners friend as of late and especially on this road trip Mariners have lost three straight they've all been by a single run one ball and one strike to palano Mariners on the home stand one back-to-back series they took series from the Giants and the Rays but it has been a real struggle this year for the Mariners on the road they're really in inverse they're 41 and 28 at home they're 28 and 41 on the road the offense has actually been just a smidge better away from T-Mobile Park not impactfully different but a touch better in some areas but the pitching has not been nearly as good so far this season on the road than at home at home they've been essentially historic especially the rotation it's been one of the best home eras by a starting staff in recent history not just with the Mariners but in all of baseball next pitch will be 25 for again on the top line two balls and two strikes and Manny Gonzalez the home played umpire making the [Music] call again ends up striking out the Lis Castillo his first pitch is fouled back for strike fast at 96 mph and there is the heater for the second time this year H 5 S games a home run prone recently he's allowed seven his last four [Music] times just got a piece of that high [Music] heat shot out to the Gap Lawrence Butler blast this out of here now the home runs just can [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] couple of pitches that have been hit hard and off the bat here's blade looks at a strike catch Rooker tags and the throw very wide so Arsenal there's the four S we talked about that a 45 for 15 % now it's become his four seam fastball in in particular the third inning the A's did not have a [Music] hit back in base Rooker at second the 2-2 we're talking about 34 recently in one run games and for Dan Wilson yeah there's 3-2 you know for all those great relief pitching you have to play clean defense but there's no doubt there is a kind of a another foul ball steo here is pitch number nine the langers and he puts him away and here's a look at the change up [Music] Raina in left field underneath it easily for out number three a runner setting up outside a little bit it has to be that far outside bouncing over to third B Schuman who was a short stop yesterday we mentioned earlier that gin is somebody that the go to Mississippi State and Pitch college ball so he's second round back in 2020 drafted by the Mets G thus overpaid for him based on where he was drafted as he one of the many trades that we have seen the Athletics do in Rec if you're the Mariners just a little bit and that's the reason why the ball is going into left field he's talking about low pick over at first base throw to Second and the return throw to first is what about you z g oh yeah no doubt that's a fun time Mike this is hanging up a long time and reallyy is there [Music] to palano at two outs a couple of quick outs in particular this order it's a pretty topheavy line basball ropes this down the line foul for sure [Music] the Seattle Mariners back to the top of the order I have no idea pet I was going to say two and two seems like something you would know a think or two about JP Crawford Skies this out to Butler there's that number and a pretty quick second but a fairly taxing first this ball is into Shadow left field and dropped it was in between Wilson and Brown picks up that hit with two strikes Arena foed a little bit there on the corner for a strike nothing and [Music] two swing report back to us with the latest three balls and two strikes to Butler dangerous hitter Here Comes pitch number nine to Butler another pitch number 10 to Lawrence Butler all three outs in the second inning on the ground palano a deep back hand pops up and in time to First and orge going towards the middle of the [Music] [Music] diamond 2-1 R blaz underneath it with two hands makes this kill to swallow here is Luke Ry on walks that was it over to second base Goff is there lead off man gof again in Shallow right field the A's young second baseman makes quite the match coming down to the final month and what has been a real surprise I think the last two weeks are going to be a lot of night a day shot out to center field Julio angling back Julio is at the wall out of room it's gone Seth Brown homers to tie this game up in the fourth so a couple of solo home runs for the A's eqc Tracer has his pitch towards the top of the Zone but ran right back over in the middle of the plate he wanted that on the outside Corner didn't get it there and Julio was going to run out of enough room to make the catch that snaps 11 in a row retired by Castillo a very o this is right past the glove of gof at second base that was too late for Tristan gray ball one to Jacob Wilson nice play Wilson the A's number one Prospect a former first round draft pick in fact he's the son of former All-Star shortstop Jack Wilson who was a mariner very briefly back in 2011 [Music] one ball and two strikes on him he is a supreme contact hitter just has absolutely Elite bat to ball skills he did not spend a whole lot of time with the minor leagues pretty quick rise two2 he played in fewer than 880 games in the miners barely 300 at bats before being called up this year in his time in the minor leagues he hit 401 he began this year in doua Midland and he hit 455 before being called up to Triple A where he hit 396 before being promoted that deserves a call up I would say like what else does a guy have to do huh yeah [Music] former six overall draft pick FS another one off him yeah just giving himself a beating right now at least he can laugh about it and speaking of that I haven't seen this one before he was unfortunately injured in his major league debut he picked up a hit in his first plate appearance and then strained his hamstring trying to score from first page later in the inning his debut was cut short because of injury and then he was on the shelf for just over a month battling here with two strikes fouls off another one 80 games in in the minor leag I would say he's doing just fine [Music] [Music] pretty good change [Music] up Pitch number nine his way reaches for to one hopper over to JP Crawford and now retires de Sid so despite that lead off walk Victor roaz helping the Mariners get off the field [Music] the 2-1 tries to go right back to it would you like it if a fan yelled your name before every pitch that you saw oh it's happened I I was talking about earlier exactly so made me think of it I mean you could say a lot worse I suppose they've done that too [Music] no jio sends this out to right field Butler sizing it up drifting back on the warning track with [Applause] Space Cat right there wasn't it yes it was oh this was in between Innings robl making that Sensational catch Lis C telling him he appreciates it turned out to be a double play bull pin warming here is Cal Raleigh with one out
