Seattle Mariners Fail to Capitalize on Opportunities in 3-2 Loss to Atlanta Braves
SEATTLE — A two-run home run from shortstop J.P. Crawford and a seven-inning quality start from starting pitcher George Kirby wasn't enough for the Seattle Mariners, who fell 3-2 to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday at T-Mobile Park.
Kirby and Braves starter Bryce Elder both put up "zeroes" through the first two innings. After Kirby retired the side in order in the top of the third, Elder blinked first.
Elder gave up a lead-off walk to catcher Mitch Garver in a seven-pitch plate appearance. After Elder got third baseman Leo Rivas out on a fly ball, Crawford stepped to the plate and hit his second two-run homer in as many games.
Crawford's blast gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead.
Despite finishing with a quality start — his fifth in eight starts this season — Kirby wasn't able to finish without any blemishes.
In the top of the fourth, Kirby allowed one-out singles to Atlanta second baseman Ozzie Albies and first baseman Matt Olson.
Albies advanced to third on Olson's hit and the latter moved to second on the attempted put-out at third thrown by M's right fielder Luke Raley.
Two batters later, Braves center fielder hit a two-RBI double that tied the game 2-2.
