Dodgers rocked by Mariners, but Blake Snell debuts with scoreless inning – San Bernardino Sun

THE GAME: The Seattle Mariners scored four runs in the second inning and six more in the seventh, handing the Dodgers their fifth loss in six Cactus League games, 11-5, on Tuesday afternoon at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.

PITCHING REPORT: Blake Snell went one inning in his spring debut with the Dodgers. He retired three of four batters, giving up a single and striking out one while throwing 30 pitches. “I’d get strike one with the heater, and then tried to work the offspeed. That was my plan today,” Snell said. “I was very happy (with his fastball). I’ve been happy with it all spring. So it’s a matter of getting the slider going, landing the curveball. The changeup, I like where that’s at.” Snell averaged 95.7 mph with his fastball. … The Mariners’ first four-run inning came against minor-league right-hander Carson Hobbs. Julian Fernandez and Ronan Kopp combined to walk four, hit a batter and throw a wild pitch while allowing six runs in the seventh inning. … Ben Casparius gave up a solo home run to Mitch Garver. … Justin Wrobleski retired five of the six batters he faced in two innings.

HITTING REPORT: Miguel Rojas and Austin Barnes drove in runs with doubles in the third inning. … Mookie Betts had a single and a walk. He has reached base five times in his first nine plate appearances this spring (three hits, two walks). … Kody Hoese had a two-run double with two outs in the ninth. … Michael Conforto struck out twice and walked. He has started Cactus League play 0 for 6 with three strikeouts. … James Outman was 1 for 3 but has struck out six times in his first 10 at-bats this spring.
