Pirates vs. Mariners Game Highlights (5/27/23) | MLB Highlights

Luis Castillo Ryan after a little bit of a wobbly stretch of time his last start on this homestand against the A's six scoreless eight strikeouts he was dominant. Yeah he really was. He was electric and all of a sudden the stuff returned the command returned from what we saw in the early parts of April and took a Peter Marcano pirates slugging percentage leader for the month of May and seeing it again on his first swing of the day splitting the gap and sending it to the wall a double to start the day for two Kapita Marcano no fear to compete. There it is. That's the way he started off. Now Brian Reynolds he put the pirates ahead for good last night with a two run triple got a fastball Marcano late to get back to tag still to left field swing and a miss chases that time going after the slider and Luis Castillo picks up his first strikeout on the afternoon swinging a miss. Ninety eight right down the middle and Santana comes up empty. Vince Velasquez returns to the mound off the injured list today and begins this day against a former teammate with the Phillies J.P. Crawford. This is scalded into right field. It's got extra bases written all over it for J.P. It is second base to lead off double. Man he is pulling the ball with authority. He really is a pick these moments to see a two to one count man in scoring position right away for Tye France. Why Fairbowl France on his way to second back to back. Here's Julio Rodriguez who had a big night last night. That's the curve ball Reynolds and it's Marcano way out there to left field to get the first down. Facing Gerrit Kelly golfed into left this time it'll be Reynolds here as far as a check swing. And is this going to work. Is this going to work. It's going to crank that music back up to win two outs to nothing Mariners. And here's Cal Raleigh ground ball in his center field. Gino's making the turn to third of the Mariners have a park down the corners. The Mariners have him on the corners with two outs for Teoscar Hernandez line and a left for his scores Cal Raleigh paddles to third and he'll be held there. It's a two out RBI double for Teoscar Hernandez three nothing Mariners. Here's Caballero gets him to pop it up Palacios in right field. So three in for Seattle on five hits Jackson once he will lead things off it swing and a miss change up Dotson on the lower outside corner three straight strikeouts for Castillo. He tries to check he goes around the slider has been vicious early from Luis Castillo he has struck out the last four batters he popped him up Castillo will give way one right there man stranded at third base. We go to the bottom of the second Mariners in front and out of the bottom of the second inning and it's Colton Wong to start things off for the Mariners. Here's the two two from Velasquez swing and a miss and he chased up way up out of the zone. JP leading off the bottom of the first inning with a line drive double into the right field corner. It's this on the ground in the center field. He clearly had a productive winner. He's also a healthy his back was really ailing him down the back half of last season. That's another hard hit ball. More than that one oh four. He is in a good spot off the plate for both for the Mariners and stack a couple of base runners to one for Julio. Got jammed but is able to park this into the gap in left center field. Crawford's race at home France into third Julio Rodriguez a run scoring double of the Mariners continue to add on. It's for nothing to the second inning strikes him out at the breaking ball. And there's a curve ball striking him out. So three strikeouts in the inning three reach one scores through two for nothing. Seattle Jason DeLay leads things off. Ninety eight fifth strikeout today for Castillo. There's nothing you can do with that pitch right back. Watch out Castillo almost lost his hat. Wong gets it steps on second to retire the side and everything is still in place. Jackson Winski wind a fan again the O2 swing and a miss for strike three and their strike out number six for Luis Castillo in the second time he has fans so Winski he struck him out and he tied him up in knots. Ninety eight mile an hour fastball running up and in Luis Castillo is seventh strikeout. Colton Wong let off the second inning by striking out Hernandez now with a three to pitch swing and a miss struck him out left he's hitting one eighty two coming into today's action versus Jose Hernandez Julio Rodriguez putting the Mariners on his shoulders this week. Caught by Hayes how did he get that ball. His first step is remarkable and he snares that ball saves a run key Brian Hayes last two starts we have seen a return to form for Luis Castillo check swing and it goes slow ways Castillo picks up his eight strikeout on the day Kovac advances into the third little meeting on the mound before Cal Raleigh bats roll to Hayes. He's coming home and delay is able to get Kovac and then Hernandez takes care of Hernandez Castillo at 88 pitches he'll face two three and four in the order he struck him out top rail strikeout number nine for Luis Castillo strike three Luis Castillo absolutely dealing today a season best ten punch out six scoreless against the pirates Julio standing in ready to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning Mariners up for nothing line this time Hayes can't get to it stings the single to left for he has hit the ball hard Julio's taken off throw way off line he picks himself up after a bag he capitalizes on an air softball out to center not especially deep Julio's coming home Julio and Scott's got to stand out. I wonder if they're challenging two things here if they're challenging to be safe or out if they're also challenging if the lay was blocking the plate or not. After review the call was five nothing Mariners in front as we go to the top of the ninth inning pirates down to their final three outs missing ball for a fastball missing away pretty consistently to Joe strike three call that's a good sinker when it's on when he's on top of that ball. He got him. It's the 16th strikeout from Mariners pitchers and now the pirates have their final out. Here's the payoff 17 strikeout for Mariners pitchers the Mariners today combined on a two to hit shutout of the pirates five nothing when they have dropped this series even.
