Mariners notebook: Wilhelmsen to remain in closer role for now

It was good to see the bullpen come through Tuesday night. With Mike Montgomery unable to get out of the second inning and an early 5 run deficit the pen was leaned on heavily and they answered the call. Edgar Olmos a day after throwing 17 pitches bounced back and gave them 3 and 2/3 scoreless innings earning his first big league win. Logan Kensing held down the fort for another inning and two thirds then Carson Smith and Tom Wilhelmsen took them the rest of the way preserving the one run lead.

Smith and Wilhelmsen, in that order.
