The Mariners on a roll they've won three in a row looking for another series win and on the mound George Kirby eight and seven overall on the season with a 4.470 array two up and two down here is Alec Burleson swinging a fly ball to the shallow centerfield who do you racing up? He is there and he makes the catch little skip at the end of his run Matthew liberatore looking to make it two good ones in a row Yeah 27 start for the 25 year old and he was much improved at last time out against the A's five and third innings Spacey the man who he was once traded for to begin the ballgame tonight. He was traded by Tampa Bay Libertor That is to st. Louis January of 2020 and Randy Rosarito was part of the package in return for the Rays little pop Fermin goes out in comes Victor. He's got that Cal Raleigh continues to make history He is charging towards another milestone He is one home run shy of matching the great the Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle's 54 home run season in 1961 for the most home runs hit in a single year by a switch hitter could happen tonight first pitch hit to left But no carry to it. That's easy for Burleson and very economically Matthew liberatore two outs Here's Julio Rodriguez having a great second half drives this one toward right Nutbar is there and a six pitch hitting for Matthew liberatore can't do much better than that Wilson Contreras is back from suspension. Well, that's good news 20 homer, man Cardinals have been looking for some thump in his absence. Maybe tonight's a night He can do that and welcome back Wilson an opposite field single. That's the first hit of the game So a good start in the st Louis second the Cardinals have the leadoff man on Nolan Gorman Oh for four with three strikeouts last night This one served toward left that one's going to get down and behind a Rosarena Contreras around second he's gonna come around and score Gorman's gonna slam on the brakes He'll stop at second and the Cardinals get a break and the game's first run It's one to nothing as a Rosarena tried to make the great play and allows the Cardinals to score a run Probably would have been a double anyway, but Contreras wouldn't have scored and he played it differently So now Gorman is on its second. Nobody out. Here's Thomas suit JC pine in a right center That's gonna get down for a hit here comes Gorman around third. He's gonna score It's two to nothing the Cardinals go opposite field with back-to-back hits and take a two-nothing lead and a good start for the Cardinals here against a pitcher who has struggled in his last four start Single and a walk two of those for Libertor and now the bottom feeds the top of Rosarena Raleigh and Rodriguez Robles at second JP at first and now you've got to deal with a Rosarena Libby's got a two-nothing lead and it's precarious right now as we play in the bottom of the third Three run blast Demolished and with one swing the Mariners had the lead it is three to two number 27 for Randy no doubt.

He is out Scott swings and comes up empty He's swung and missed and the ball hit him on the breaking ball.
