J Rudd and Kirby scratched and France were knocked out early as Seattle lost to Oakland for the first time in 2023
5:57 a.m. UTC
SEATTLE — The saying goes, “When it rains, it rains,” and for the Mariners playing under the roof at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday night for the first time since June 18, the metaphor had the connotation of an odd coincidence during a 3-1 loss to the A’s.
With about two hours left in the game, right-hander George Kirby was scratched from his start due to illness. Then, minutes before the first game went into the game, Julio Rodriguez was pulled from the starting lineup due to pain in his left foot – specifically, a nerve issue he developed during his warm-up routine, temporarily halting his attempt to extend his career-best homer streak to four games. .
Making matters even more troubling, Ty France was out before the third period after a clipped tackle attempt from Luke Weaver resulted in a bruised left thumb and wrist. And for good – or rather bad – measure, J.B. Crawford came in with a wild note after a hard slide to second base on the force that finished third. Crawford finished the game and said afterwards that he was fine, despite showing obvious discomfort shortly after play when he entered the field at a short stop.
Rodriguez and France day in and day out, and it’s not clear when Kirby will be put back into Gambit.
“You’re always worried,” manager Scott Servais said. “We’ll see how those guys feel when they come in tomorrow… … you never know. Things happen. Things have evolved, and we’ve been injury-free here for the whole of August.
The depletion of major contributors, coupled with just two hits before the ninth inning against an Oakland pitching staff that was, statistically, the worst in baseball, snapped the Mariners’ winning streak at four.
They had a baserunner in every inning but first and seventh, thanks to six walks and a hit by a pitch, but were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 – including a game-ending hit by Eugenio Suarez with Josh Rojas at third base. and Crawford at second after each getting a two-hit.
Their only run came via a bases-loaded walk from A’s outfielder Ken Waldichuk to Cade Marlowe in the fourth inning.
Seattle’s first loss to Oakland in their ninth meeting of the year prevented the club from setting a franchise record for what would be their 21st win in a single month. She’ll have another shot at history in Wednesday’s three-game series finale.
Texas and Houston also won on Tuesday, resulting in a three-way tie at the top of the American League West. These three clubs are also tied in the AL Wild Card standings, 5-and-a-half games behind Tampa Bay, who sits in first place.
The most pressing matter obviously concerned the three players who were sidelined on Tuesday.
The potential AL Player of the Month was feeling better by the time Servais met with reporters after the game, but it’s unclear how quickly he’ll be back.
“There is no substitute for Julio, and certainly how he plays now,” Servais said. “But you hope the guys find a way to get to the base, generate traffic, and then get a big hit.”
In September/October of last year, the Mariners won 7-8 when Rodriguez lost time with a lower back injury. If that’s any indication of what to expect this time around, they’ll need it badly as each game becomes more important. Overall, Seattle is 146-112 when playing Rodriguez and 19-17 without him, dating back to his Opening Day 2022 debut.
“(I hit him on his left thumb and it swelled on him,” Servier said. “So, again, the swelling seems to have gone down a little bit early on in Ty’s treatment.”
IL’s first baseman in each of the past two seasons has been plagued with left arm injuries, which have been directly linked to reduced production. In 2022, France had a .867 OPS before spraining his left elbow on the field on June 23, then battling through a .687 OPS in his last 70 game and revealing at Spring Training the following spring that he was playing through the pain.
The first-time All-Star player was under the weather when he arrived on the field on Tuesday, but can be put back into tackle when he feels better.
“He’s been in my office with the coaches, and we need to do the best thing for the player,” Servier said. “George wanted to try and get out and it wasn’t the right move. He wasn’t feeling good and he didn’t look good.
