MLB The Show 20 Simulation: May 7, 2020
Seattle Mariners (11-28) vs. Houston Astros (20-17)
When you’ve lost 13 out of your last 15 games, changes obviously need to be made. As the virtual GM of the Mariners. I decided to make a few moves to shake up the roster.
Sent up to Seattle
3B Patrick Wisdom
RP Dan Altavilla
SP Justus Sheffield
Sent down to Tacoma
3B Dylan Moore
RP Carl Edwards Jr.
SP Nick Margevicius
Signed
SP Jordan Balazovic (1 yr./5 million dollars)
RF Yasiel Puig (5 yr./29.6 million dollars)
Look, if they’re on the market you might as well get them right? This should make the rest of this road trip in Houston pretty interesting.
Today’s pitching matchup
Taijuan Walker (SEA)
1-2 (4.98 ERA)
Vs.
Lance McCullers Jr.(HOU)
3-0 (3.43 ERA)
Game Highlights
-Daniel Vogelbach continues his streak of RBIs in consecutive games, not from a home run this time but a groundout in the first inning to bring in Dee Gordon. (1-0 Seattle)
-Second pitch seen as a member of the Mariners and Puig crushes it. (2-0 Seattle)
-J.P. Crawford goes deep as well in the second inning. What has gotten into this Mariners offense? (3-0 Seattle)
-I guess it’s gonna be one of those games, Houston comes back with two in the bottom of the second. Seattle still leads. (3-2 Seattle)
-Yup. It’s one of those games. Jose Altuve home run in the bottom of the third inning. (4-3 Houston)
-A big seventh inning by the Houston Astros would stretch the lead to 10-3 but Seattle did manage to get another run back thanks to another bomb by Puig. However, Houston’s lead was too much to overcome.
Final Score: Houston 10, Seattle 5
