Yesterday, Cardinals starter Kyle Gibson threw an astonishing 112 pitches against the Mariners, none of which resulted in runs scored. Today, the Mariners needed just six pitches to score their first run of the day, and proceeded to pile it on from there against today’s opponent Miles Mikolas and his supporting cast of Cardinals pitchers. Baseball!
Things got off to a rip-roaring start in the first, when Julio Rodríguez led off the game with a double, which started the hits carousel turning. Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena followed with back-to-back singles, each of which were hit right back up the middle, and then Luke Raley smacked a double (108 EV) to stake the Mariners to an early 3-0 lead.
