And the MARINERS are in the WIN COLUMN! Another victory for the M's as they took the second game of this four game set in Texas 4-2. On this very hot night, Felix Hernandez only went six innings while throwing just 84 pitches; but he was filthy. He allowed two earned on three hits while sending seven back to the dugout. Sherrill, Morrow, and Putz pitched the final three innings combining to allow just one hit and no runs, with Putz getting his AL leading 37th save of the season. The Mariner offense was once again, solid, as they again reached double-digit hits with thirteen. Everyone had atleast one hit except for Richie Sexson who surprisingly did not strikeout in any of his four at bats tonight. We have gotten used to scoring early and tonight was no exception. Jose Guillen hit a solo funk blast, his nineteenth, to put the M's ahead 1-0 in the first inning. Singles by Ichiro and Guillen also plated a run each in the second and seventh respectively.
This month, the Mariners have atleast ten hits in 15 of 21 games and have scored in the first inning in 9 of 21 games (9 of last 16).

Let's hope the M's only scored 4 runs tonight because they are saving them for tomorrow because they know they'll need it ;-)....Horacio "No Place Like Home" Ramirez is pitching on the road...We'll need all the runs we can get preferably scoring early and often...On the bright side of things maybe he'll pitch bad enough to convince the front office to go after Brett Tomko...
