Mariners Moose Tracks, 6/17/19: Austin Nola, Matt Strahm, and Justin Upton

Austin Nola, who hit .327/.415/.520 with 7 HR and 37 RBI in 54 games as a C/1B with Tacoma, is being called up to take Encarnacion’s roster spot.

If he gets in a game, he’ll already become 51st player for Mariners this season (MLB record is 60 by Rangers in 2014).

Rays were also involved in Encarnacion conversations, per Mariners, but Yankees were in better position to absorb $, which has been a priority in Seattle deals since last fall.

After visiting a specialist in Arizona, Ryon Healy is returning to Seattle to have an epidural in his back. He's out for three to four more weeks.

With the Padres' 11th run crossing the plate in the 9th, this series officially breaks the record for most runs in a four-game series. That was a close one, the last half-inning of this game almost didn't have any action! Not allowed.

Strahm was ejected for cheering on his teammate Phil Maton, shouting “come on Phil!”

Umpire Bill Welke thought Strahm was giving him a hard time yelling, “come on Bill!” https://t.co/CwfBDFD2CY

I have never seen a pitcher balk intentionally to get the runner to third, but Kenley absolutely did that. https://t.co/SbR5FuzpRL pic.twitter.com/vA5iz2zvyT
