Mariners lost and Rangers won. Stros back to 5 up with the other 2 tied for 2nd.
Picked up Gold glove 3rd baseman Ramon Urias from Baltimore.
For some reason talking to Verlander oh no
Pena said he's ready and is supposed to be on the plane to Boston tonight after Nationals game. We'll see. Scored 2 times last night with no hits but walked and HBP in Sugarland.
IMO the way Correa did to leave here, we don't need him back.
While not a scalding, it was a loss 5-1 another last place team syndrome loss. Hunter off again. But hey 57 more games. Neris gave up a dinger in the ninth to make it look worse. Still had a chance until that.
Now 4.5 up and only 5 over Rangers
11-2 top of 8 Kurtz 5 for 5 with 3 dingers 5 rbis.
Over before it started. Now go for split.
Top 9 Kurtz dinger number 4 8 RbIS 6 FOR 6 15-2
Final 15-3
Walter great pitching game leading 3-1 Sousa comes in gives up 2 in the 8th for tie and we go ahead 4-3 in 9th Hader save number 27
Mariners lose 10-2 we 6 up again. Cariritini hits in 11 straight games.
Best record in AL for now
Sweep
Valdez wins a close one 3-1. Mathews anonther dinger and finishes game with double play.
Valdez now 11-4. Still 5 up as Mariners win 1-0.
Some really good defensive plays on both sides.
