Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson speaks to the media following a 3-2 loss against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. 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.
