Las Vegas Aces (5-1) @ Seattle Mariners (5-2)

The Mariners did a nice job putting together their rotation in the draft. It features solid, young arms such as Brandon Beachy, Yovani Gallardo and Justin Turner. Vance Worley and Jason Vargas round out a rotation that could be really good for years to come. The offense is led by Jose Reyes,who is joined by a couple of high upside youngsters in Jose Altuve, Will Middlebrooks and Matt Adams. Ryan Hanigan should work well with the pitching staff, while veteran Michael Young brings leadership to the team. The bullpen will feature lefty Mike Gonzalez as the closer, with Latroy Hawkins and Frank Francisco as veteran arms. Youngster Tanner Scheppers looks to have a bright future. The Mariners have a payroll of just 57.32 million, ranking 27th in the league. This should give them some flexibility going forward. The minor league system, which ranks 8th, looks in pretty good shape. Outfielders Austin Wilson and Jake Marisnick are joined by pitchers Taylor Guerrieri, Allen Webster and Marcus Stroman as the top players in the system. The Mariners are expected to finish 3rd in the division, with a 76-86 record, but their future looks pretty bright.

Game 7: @ Seattle Mariners
Scherzer got himself in trouble early, giving up 3 hits and a walk in the first. He would settle down after that and put up zeroes across the board for his second win. Chris Davis went 2-4 with his 4th home run and 2RBIs. Amarista also got 2 hits. Jason Grilli pitched a scoreless 9th to get his first save on the season, as Craig Kimbrel got the night off.
LV 2 – SEA 1 (win 6-1)

Game 8: @ Seattle Mariners
Jeremy Guthrie pitched well enough today (7.2-7-1-1-3-6) to outduel his counterpart, Jair Jurrjens (7.1-7-4-4-1-2). He was backed by Gerardo Parra’s 2-4 (double and triple) performance. Brandon Phillips hit a 2-run home run and Albert Pujols had 2 hits, including his 2nd home run of the season. Craig Kimbrel pitched a scorless 9th for save number 3.
LV 4 – SEA 1 (win 7-1)

Game 9: @ Seattle Mariners
Today Patrick Corbin showed just why our scouting department was so high on him during the draft. The young lefty went 8.1 innings, giving up only 3 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 6. He only threw 99 pitches, 66 of which were strikes. The offense did more than it’s part, getting 12 hits and 5 walks. De Aza, Parra, Pujols and Choo each had 2 hits in the game. Evan Longoria went 1-3 with 5 RBI and home run number 3. Chris Davis was hitless,but he walked 3 times (12 walks in only 9 games, wow!!!) and scored 3 runs.
LV 11 – SEA 1 (win 8-1)
