The Final Result | Mariners 11 – Reds 3
The thoughts of an undefeated spring training for Cincinnati have been crushed. The Mariners handed them their first loss on Monday. You can see the entire box score for the game right here. Phillip Ervin hit a long home run off of the batters eye. Kyle Farmer and Gavin LaValley both racked up two hits. Nick Senzel stole a base. Tyler Mahle, Wandy Peralta, and Tony Santillan tossed shutout innings of relief. Overall, though, the pitching struggled to find the strikezone as they walked 10 batters on the day.
Three former Reds in Seattle’s lineup.
I didn’t realize he could play another position beside 2B. Guess that’s what spring training is for.
Looking forward to seeing Mahle and Santillan this spring. Mahle had a rough end of the year, so hoping to see some bounceback, as well as better development of secondary pitches. Santillan had a strong end of his year, so hoping he can keep it going into the upper levels.
I wrote a whole bunch of words about Tyler Mahle and secondary pitches that will be posted this evening. Stay tuned.
Would love to see Siri/Trammell/Friedl man the OF at the same time.
Rough start for Wood. Er, um, I mean, yeah, he’s just getting his work in !!!!
Just like Marty said last year about Homer, sometimes you are getting your work in and sometimes you just stink. Let’s hope he doesn’t “just stink”
It’s one start, I’m just teasin’ … But I always find it curious to see how long a pitcher might struggle before there’s a concern. I must say, it is nice to have a ballgame on.
Senzel is a plus runner, period.
Peralta was superb today. Throwing 96-98 and great command of his pitches, hopefully he can keep this up throughout the spring and make his case for a spot.
I’m hoping the same. Great arm with a new pitching coach might get Wandy right. All about command with him.
