Nightcap: 8/28/07 vs. Angels

The Mariners once again failed to come up with ten-plus hits and once again failed to beat the Angels in a 10-6 loss. The Mariner bats were working early with five runs in the first on three scoring plays; a Guillen double, a Beltre triple, and a Johjima single. But then the Angels scored seven unanswered runs until Betancourt scored on an Ichiro single in the bottom of the seventh. That sixth run was it for the Mariners, but the Angels added four more to round off the victory. Weaver pitched only 4.1 innings allowing eight hits and four earned runs. Brandon Morrow got the loss after allowing four runs in an inning on two hits and two walks; which is not good to see after we thought his control problems were behind him. As far as offensive notables, Johjima went 3 for 4 with an rbi and Richie Sexson was hitless in four at bats dropping his average back down to .208. Hopefully we can salvage a game in this last game against the team that we desperately need to start beating.
