September 22nd-September 28th
September 22nd, 2028: We opened up the series against the Braves as Jorge Flores (12-11, 3.92 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) took on Ty Madden (10-10, 3.63 ERA, 1.19 WHIP). Tied at 1 after 9, the Braves got 1 in the 10th, but Jarred Kelenic tied the game up in the bottom with an RBI single. In the 14th, Joe Kramer walked in a run, and then allowed a 2-run single to Jeff Houghtby, and the Braves took the opener 5-2.
Flores went 7 innings with 7 hits, a run, and 11 strikeouts. Chad Scoles struck out the side in the 9th. Ignacio Hinojos allowed a walk, hit, and run without getting an out. Kramer was charged with 3 in 0.2 innings woff 3 walks, 2 hits, and a strikeout.
Daylen Lile was 3-for-7 with a double and run scored. Jarred Kelenic was 3-for-7 with an RBI. Juan Simental had a pinch hit solo homer in the 8th. Mac Horvath was 1-for-4 with 2 walks. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-5 with 2 walks. Isaac Nunez came off the bench and went 1-for-3.
Arizona 1B Iestyn Spreckley launced three homers out of Petco Park in a 15-7 win over the Padres.
September 23rd, 2028: We looked to even the series back up with Luis Ardon (11-5, 3.26 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) taking on Jonathan Groff (3-7, 4.25 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). We got three in the first, which was enough in the 4-2 win.
Ardon tossed 7 innings with 7 hits, 2 runs, and 2 walks. Luis Alcantra struck out 1 in a perfect 8th for his 18th hold. Chad Scoles struck out the side (again) to earn his 37th save.
Noah Smith was 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Isaac Nunez was 2-for-3 with a walk, run scored, and steal. Daylen Lile was 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. Juan Ramirez and Jackson Miller were both 1-for-4 with an RBI.
September 24th, 2028: We looked to come on top in the rubber match, with Devon Peterson (12-9, 3.57 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) taking on Ken Harty (10-7, 3.65 ERA, 1.07 WHIP). We've had Hary's number, as he is 0-2 with a 7.47 ERA this season. Jarred Kelenic has hit him well, 11-for-25 lifetime with a pair of homers. It was another extra inning game, and the crappy Braves beat us 6-4 to embarass us at home...
Peterson went 6 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Hinojos and Priest both allowed a hit and run with just an out a piece. Cho-yeong Hyoun got the loss, 2 hits and 2 runs in 0.2 innings.
Dewitt MacGregor was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Eric Kisela was 1-for-3 with a two run homer. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-1 with a double, run scored, and 3 walks. Daylen Lile was 1-for-5 with a solo shot.
Luckily, tomorrow was off day, before we'd finish the season with two road series.
September 25th, 2028: Well, it wasn't pretty, but we officially clinched a playoff spot. At 95-61, we have a 4 game lead over the Phillies, who own the 2nd Wild Card spot.
We moved up a spot to third in the Power Rankings as well.
Kris Bryant recorded his 2,000th career hit in his first season with Seattle. The 36-year-old is a career .268/.369/.509 hitter with 450 homers and 1,252 RBI's.
We're off to Tampa for three with the first place Rays. We'd see Nehemiah Adenrian (4-6, 2.73 ERA), Eric Walker (9-6, 4.65 ERA), and Chad Whye (1-3, 6.17 ERA).
September 25th, 2028: I recalled C.J. Jorgensen from his rehab assignment. He'd jump into the rotation and start today against the more successful Adenrian brother, Nehemiah (4-6, 2.73 ERA, 1.17 WHIP). We put up 5 in the second and finished the Rays off for a 6-4 win.
Jorgensen went 4.1 innings with 3 hits, 42 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts on a 65 pitch count (he threw 66 shame on Boone...). Sam Minniefield went 2.2 innings with 5 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and a strikeout to get the win. Luis Alcantra and Ignacio Hinojos got holds and Chad Scoles picked up the win.
Ian Happ was 2-for-3 with a walk, steal, and run scored. Chris Reid was 2-for-4 with a double, walk, and 2 RBI's. Daylen Lile was 2-for-2 with a run scored, walk, hit by pitch, and sac-fly. Isaac Nunez was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Noah Smith was 1-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI's. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with a double, hit by pitch, run scored, and RBI.
September 27th, 2028: The Seattle Mariners are headed to the postseaosn. At 89-69, they will return to the postseason after taking a year off last year.
A few players will not pitch for the rest of the year: Brady Singer (Boston), Arturo Gastelum (Oakland), and Shiro Hiraki (Toronto).
We looked to tie our single season win record (and match the last two seasons) with Jake Florence (9-2, 3.63 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) taking on Chad Whye (1-3, 6.17 ERA, 1.80 WHIP). We rallied for 11 runs to take the middle game 11-6.
Daylen Lile left with a strained abdominal muscle, and with the season all, but wrapped up, I'd bench him for the rest of the year so he'll be ready for the postseason.
Chris Reid was 3-for-4 with 3 runs, 4 RBI's, a walk, steal, and two homers. Sergio Tello hit the first two homers of his career, going 2-for-3 with 3 RBI's and 2 walks. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 wtih 2 runs, a hit by pitch, and RBI. Jarred Kelenic was 2-for-5 with 2 doubles, a run scored, and RBI. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with 2 runs and a double.
September 28th, 2028: We were officially named NL East Champions. The Cincinnati Reds officially clinched a playoff spot. At 95-63, they have a 2 game lead over the Cardinals.
We looked to finish the sweep with Jorge Flores (12-11, 3.83 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) taking on Jacob Faria (10-10, 6.42 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) who's had really the first bad year of his long career. Tied at 4 headed to the 9th, Sergio Tello hit a 2-run double to give us a 6-4 lead that Scoles would hold. This would be our franchise best 98th win!
Flores went 6 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Ignacio Hinojos allowed a solo homer to the only batter he faced. Riley Ferrell got the win, finishing the 8th with a three pitch strikeout. Scoles needed just 5 pitches to record the save.
Juan Ramirez was 3-for-4 with a double, run scored, RBI, and walk. Noah Smith was 3-for-4 with a double and run scored. Mike Sinai was 1-for-4 with a two run homer. Mac Horvath was 1-for-2 with 2 walks and a run scored. Jarred Kelenic had a pinch hit single in the 9th and later scored.
Braves CF Manuell Marinho increased his hit streak to 20 games. Rangers 3B Hueston Morrill hit for the cycle in a 8-6 win over the Angels.
Three left! We're off to Philadelphia, and shockingly still have a chance to win 100 if we take two of three. We'll face Chad Afghani (13-8, 3.92 ERA), Jim Gilbert (12-6, 3.33 ERA), and Cullen Dana (12-4, 2.86 ERA).
