Well, RRS certainly performed as requested ...
going a career long 8 innings, allowing only 3 runs on 5 hits
Unfortunately, against Cy Zack, the bats were ice...
ZERO runs - ONE hit
"That's one of the better pitched games I've seen in a long, long time," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said. "Just a clinic today. The guy was almost unhittable. I think you go into a ballgame like this offensively with a guy that struck out 15 in his last appearance, and really the only way you beat a guy like that is try to get his pitch count up."You look up on the board in the last inning, on his 113th pitch it's 96 miles per hour, and with that he complements it with a 65-66 mph curveball with command," he said.
Ryan and the Mariners are happy to tip their cap and say, "G'day, Mr. Greinke!"
:-)
I don't know why he wasn't better before this year.

Actually, every major AL award seems pretty obvious at this point!
You would think, but wouldn't be surprised if CC gets it due to the whole pin-striped thing....
