M's 4 | Rays 3
Of course, after I dub him "Snowman" for his propensity to go 8 innings....
Ryan has a bit of a struggle and is unable to get out of the 6th inning.
He allowed 4 walks and 3 runs in total, but he did do a pretty good Hudini impression in the 2nd - after loading the bases with 1 out, he was able to induce a couple of pop-ups. Ryan would load the bases again in the 6th - this time with NO outs. Shawn came in and allowed 2 runs that tied the game, but could have been a lot worse. From that point on Miggy and Mark nailed it down.
Yet again, the bats come through J U S T enough...
M's pick up their 32nd one-run victory
~ Ichiro a 2-run homer in the 5th
~ Jose with a solo shot in the 8th (gave the M's the lead they wouldn't relinquish)
And then there is that little matter of the jerk fan who caught Jose's home run....
It was his 25th (17 was his previous season high) and he wanted the ball.
Apparently, efforts to negotiate for it (autographed bat, ball, etc.) were in vain.
Someone should have that guy read Baker's piece in the times (linked in my previous post)
Maybe THEN he'd get a heart.
