Today, the Mariners won a ballgame. James Paxton was on the mound, adjustments were made, home runs were hit, balls were caught, and from the first pitch to the final out, the action was intense.
Let’s start with the Mariners’ offense. Nathan Eovaldi started the game on the hill for the Rays making use of his splitter, cutter, and fastball, which was averaging 97 mph. Dee Gordon and Jean Segura battled Eovaldi at the start of the game, each getting him to throw seven and six pitches, respectively, but they both flew out to end their contests.
