The Mariners slugged their way to a huge 7-5 win against the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday, taking the middle game of the series! After what Kathryn Xu at Defector called a “pinnacle” of their regular-season woes just this past Tuesday in Milwaukee, our M’s didn’t just bounce back, they absolutely roared back.
Bounce-Back and New Blood for the Emerald City
We snagged that crucial 7-5 victory against the Brewers, setting ourselves up perfectly to win the series. That’s the kind of turnaround this team needs! Plus, the squad is getting a fresh arm with left-hander Jhonathan Díaz called up from Tacoma. You love to see new talent stepping up and getting a shot with the big league club, especially when we’re trying to string together some wins.
Former Mariner’s Tough Break Amidst League Shenanigans
Around the league, there’s some tough news for a familiar face: former Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is done for the season. He’s undergoing ankle surgery, cutting short what was already a disappointing first year with the Mets. Brutal luck for him. Elsewhere, the Phillies grabbed left-hander Nestor Cortes, and the Pirates made a minor move for veteran catcher Christian Bethancourt from the Yankees. And get this: the Brooklyn Cyclones and their ownership group, Diamond Baseball Holdings, actually admitted to stealing wages from concessions workers and promised to make it right. Wild stuff. Also, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security publicly taunted a recently-detained Padres coach, accusing him of overstaying his visa by over eight years. Seriously? Kiley McDaniel at ESPN dropped his updated list of the top 100 prospects, and Jen Ramos Eisen and Frankie de la Cretaz at Defector discussed the Women’s Pro Baseball League in its inaugural season.
But back to what matters most right here in the Emerald City: our M’s are looking to win the series today! They’ve got a morning game slated for 11:10 AM PT. Let’s get that series W and keep this momentum rolling!
