Mariners vs. A's Game Highlights (9/3/24) | MLB Highlights

The Mariners trying to get back into the win column today, they are on the other side of the bay as they continue this four game series. The final series, the Mariners will ever play inside the Oakland Coliseum and as a bark in the park night like it is every Tuesday, an old tradition here in Oakland Mariners and the A off tonight in game two of this four game set. Let me facing off against JT again who is making just his second big league start JT out of Mississippi State and his 12 pitch is a ground ball in the center for a base hit and that's the way our ball game begins. Leadoff base hit by Crawford and that will bring up Julio Rodriguez. This is hit on the button out to left field and it's over the glove of Seth Brown JP Crawford Wheels in the third. He's held there on a ringing double by julio Rodriguez with nobody out in the first. The Mariners have runners at 2nd and 3rd and that will bring up Cal Raley, 82 runs batted in on the year. Now, he's just one RB I away from dan wilson for the most RBIs in a single season by a catcher in Mariners history. He shoots this out of the gap in right center field touches down for a base hit JP Crawford Strolls home julio is right behind him. Cal Raley stands up with a two run double and he is just set the Mariners all time single season mark the most RBIs all time for a catcher in franchise history in one season. He has passed his manager dan wilson and had 83 back in his all star season of 96. He checks, he turns and fires it out with a high slider and that's that number one that will bring up. Three, two gets his second straight strikeout after three straight hits and two runs scored. Gin responds with two Ks and has one more to go 22 pitch and strikes out the side after giving up two runs. The Mariners lead 2 to 20 eight starts on the year. 365, a for Luis 167 strikeouts over 45. And this man, Lawrence Butler is making a name for himself. Now, the American League player of the week for last week and for good reason. Double and a run scored yesterday. He's on a 12 game hitting streak. That's a career high and now, but a deep drive to right center field, that's goodness coming from Lawrence Butler. His 21st home, got his eighth straight game, an extra base hit A's record. The Butler just does not stop delivering. That'll be a one out walk to Mitch Garver. He'll pass the baton to josh Rojas low pick over at first base throw to second and the return throw to first is in time for the double play faces the minimum. We go to the bottom of the second two outs. Nobody on bottom of the 2nd 21 Mariners. The 12 pitch Castillo, blink your eyes. He's done with the second inning. A 123 frame of the Mariners leading the A after 22 to 1 and a pretty quick second but a fairly taxing first, this ball is into shadow left field and it drops. It was in between Wilson and Brown kind of parachutes out of the sky and finds some grassic two for two. See what JT goes with here and he just struck out rose arena fourth strikeout of the game for JT again. Oh and two to Victor Robles and he takes strike three good spot for JTG. He has settled in nicely. It stays a 2 to 1 game as we mentioned, four dudes at the top 20 or more home runs that from the rock swing on and popped up down the right field line. Raley giving chase might have a play. He makes the play nicely done with a step and a half to spare before he softly runs into the side wall good play by luke. He can only make that play in this ballpark two down since giving up those two hits in the first Castillo has not allowed a baserunner that's crushed to left center field. Julio Rodriguez on his horse. He looks up leaves the building. This game is tied at 2 to 2. His 13th of the year. The power shows itself at the Coliseum that snaps 11 in a row retired by Castillo. And now here's the 22 pitch and that is right down the middle ring him up and Garver knew it too quickly down now, six strikeouts for again. And since that two run first, he has been excellent as will take that a four pitch walk and that will bring up Schuman who struck out in his first swing to ball into right center field on the run. Victor Robles going back to the woody track leaps up and he makes the catch a throw back to first base out of hop to luke Raley. That is going to double up Tristan Gray, an amazing grab by Victor Robles high up the wall in straight away right field. Robbie Schuman of an extra base hit and he turns it into a 93 double play. Holy smokes. What a play by Robles one and two count on the way. It swung on and a great job by JTG after a rocky start, he allowed his to the first three batters tonight. Only two after that, his next pitch he did go and that's a strikeout. Tried to check his swing J T right hander just a fantastic job of keeping himself and his team in the ball game is going to go with the lefty Hogan Harris who has split time as a starter. A reliever making his 13th appearance. Polanco works a one out walk. The Mariners have to go ahead man aboard Mariners trying to find a way to get to this bullpen which has been a struggle this year including last night, Polanco into scoring position. Zack by two outs and the 12 to swing on popped up left center field, easy play for blood comes in makes the catch that will do it a go quietly in the seventh stretch time here in Oakland two outs and a man aboard and a very young hitter, Tristan Gray coming to the plate. I think this will probably be his last hitter 92 pitches the next pitch and he blows it past them upstairs. The Castillo Flex as he holds this hot a lineup to just two runs over seven innings from the Coliseum. Wilson goes to rookie reliever Troy Taylor Taylor, the Mariners like so much. They drafted him twice. They drafted him in 2021 and Then in 2022 he signed and he got him swinging a miss for out number one, another 22 and he got him the breaking ball from Troy Taylor as he retires the A's 123 on a fine inning by the rookie. The Mariners have the go ahead run a board with one out here in the ninth inning. Justin Turner has arrived on deck. There goes Randy, it's strike three and the throw down to second base, Randy is out and it's going to be a strike out a double play. Randy went in standing up and he pulled up in front of the bag at second base Trent Thorton Trent Thornton is in making a 62nd appearance. He's three and two in a 46, a one two and Rooker called out on strikes and probably has a case that will be JJ Blat. He's had some walk off heroics this year and will walk, passing the baton to Shay langeliers that will bring up Shay Langoliers who won it with a walk off home run last night in the bottom of the ninth inning chopper throw Betty's head runners on 1st and 2nd now and things get interesting as the lefty Brown comes up with a runner in scoring position. So now the winning run in scoring position and Seth Brown coming up bottom of the ninth inning game tied at 22. And man, you don't want to go through the agony of another walk off loss two two. It, it is a win, a win. Hays win straight was another crushing one run loss for the Mariners
