Guardians vs. Mariners Highlights: Mariners Complete Series Sweep
And Cleveland will face right handed starting pitcher Emerson Hancock with the injuries to Logan Gilbert and Bryce Miller Hancock has stepped in and helped stabilize the rotation pitching to a 303 A in his last five starts. Stephen Kwan, stepping in for the Guardians. Matri gets the start over third and hustles the throw is out. Here’s kyle Manzo swung on, popped him up foul behind home plate, coming over to the third base side and making the catch is Mastrini behind home plate near the on deck circle as he bailed out his catcher Mitch Garber who lost it or just misplayed it. So two outs and here’s jose ramirez, a swing and a miss on a slider in the dirt strong start by Emerson Hancock. He retires to sign in order in the first Luis Ortiz was really pitching. Well, he had a five game stretch where he was pitching to a 227 A before the Reds roughed him up his last time out. What does he need to do today? He’s got to get in the strike zone early. We’re talking about a guy that has elite movement on the baseball, the 12, he gets weak contact right back to Ortiz and the underhand flip one down. Here’s julio Rodriguez swinging a one hopper again right back to Ortiz runs up to get it the throw to first and it’s in time to get julio for the second out of the inning. And that will bring up CAL roll after the first pitching right on top of the chalk kicks off the short wall that holds Cal to a single on that first pitched ball stays fair two outpaced runner for the Mariners. Here is Polanco looking to extend a nine game hitting streak. Polanco with a fly ball to center routine play for Lane Thomas. The side is retired no score after one in two up, two down and Then up center fielder. Lane Thomas, a bullet hit by a diving Miles master in the left field and a two out single for Lane Thomas two out baserunner Jones right back and it finds Hancock. There is out number three. The leadoff walks are never good and now Rose more has got a little speed out there also soles hitless last night after home run in back to back games. The other way for a base hit a Rose arena runs out from under his helmet. He speeds to third as Telez stands up with a double one of the softer hit doubles that ratty will find all year, but it works nevertheless. Nobody out 2nd and 3rd, here’s Mitch Garver in field about midway swing and a miss and he got him with a fastball. So what away? And that will bring up right fielder can zone and he draws a walk. Bases are loaded. Second walk this inning and here is number nine hitter. Miles Mastro Boni scoreless tie bottom of the second inning lined into right field base hit Rosa Arena scores. Mastrini puts the Mariners in front 1 to 0 in the bottom of the second inning and leadoff walk comes around to score bases loaded for JP Crawford right now. JP Crawford has been living on base fly ball G he’s got strength that down and in drives into right field. What a game changer? That is five now and the Mariners cash in with all that early traffic on Martinez to lead it off. There you go. Base hit center field for Martinez. Good start right there. Handcock. The bad news is he’s made 11 starts this year only twice. Has he given up five or more runs in a start? So he’s due I like that thinking , but that’s not gonna help a double play ball up, Stephen Kwan in play to Crawford. Nice shutdown inning there from Hancock after the Mariners hit the grand slam and post five runs, he faces the minimum in the third two up, two down for the Mariners here in the fourth inning and it’s back to the top of the lineup for Crawford, a grand slam and out walk to JP. Here comes julio hit the knob or hit him, hit him showing that elbow off right away. Crawford at second julio at first and Cal Raley at the plate , a chance to really blow this one open. Now. Swing and a miss, he struck him out with some 98 mile an hour heat. Third K for Ortiz and the Mariners lead two aboard here in the fourth one pitch one down and Emerson Hancock continues to roll lane Thomas the batter. Here’s the pitch on the way and it’s outside for ball four. So Thomas with one out walk and that’s the first walk given up by Emerson Hancock Jones bounced back to the mound. His first time up, swung on ground ball to the second baseman Polanco to the back for one. Crawford to first double play smartly turned around the bag by Polanco and Crawford. And the side is retired for the Guardians in the fifth head to the bottom of the inning. Mariners five Guardians Jorge Polanco leading off for the Mariners that stayed out in front of the plate. No, he did not did. I thought he pointed out the same thing. Never moved. I thought maybe he knows something. I don’t. That’s an put out for austin edges 32 to a Rosa and he walked him for the third time. Here is to take off for second and Rosa swipes his second base today stealing his back in the day swing and a miss he got routed to chase. He went fishing, came up empty fourth strikeout for Ortiz two down here in the fifth. Now, two outs still here with a runner in scoring position. Mitch Garver steps in. He’s the inverse of a Rosena today. Rose Arena has walked all three times. Garver has struck out his first two times lined out to left center Rosa scores easily from second base. An RB I single. Mitch Garver and the Mariners tack on a run at 6 to 0. That’s getting the sixth run but Mitch with the two strikeouts and that big strikeout in the second inning that slider and driving to the left center Emerson Hancock this year, I don’t believe he has gone beyond six innings in any start. This is his longest start of the year. Kyle Manzo as we start the seventh inning right back. Manzo launches one to right not deep near the line and making the running catch is can zone Jose trying to keep that on base streak alive. He’s 0 to 2 popped him up. Crawford drifting out Julio right in the shadow two up and two down here is Carlos Santana. He goes a day that belongs to Emerson Hancock. He has matched a career best seven innings and he shuts out the Guardians on only two hits facing one over the minimum. Emerson Hancock was fantastic, man. He really was. You see the four strikeouts, three of them on that slider one on the fos for me, it was a foba change up back and forth against all these lefties which made the difference. Pitches, 85 pitches to get through 7, 85 pitches seven scoreless for Hancock and he is done, nick Enright making his eighth appearance on the year randy. This is not an easy thing to do. He reaches for the fourth time without a hit today and he reaches with two down here in the seventh inning and Telez leans into one, drives it high in the air to right, but making the catch just shy of the warning track is Rodriguez and the, is retired Guardians down to their final three outs. Bazardo on to get them 31, a in 28 games, 1 to 2 pitch swing and a miss for strike three with a slider one away. Here’s jonathan Rodriguez with a swing, a little tap in front of the plate barehanded by Bazardo the throw to first and it’s going to be just in time to get Rodriguez for the second out of the inning. 40,871 on their feet here in Seattle and kyle fans Arnold blasting one up the middle and he’s got himself a base hit. He’s on base streak standing at 39 games. He’s 0 to 3 today on the ground over to Polanco. He’s got it and that’s the ball game vibes restored around the Mariners, a three game sweep and a shutout today of the Guardians as the Mariners come back home and get a statement series sweep.
The Mariners completed a sweep of the Cleveland Guardians to open their homestand, powered by a Father’s Day grand slam from J.P. Crawford.
