g16 | COMPLETE - with high socks!

MARK HARRISON / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Mariners 4 | Orioles 1

Complete is the word of the day....

• Felix's first complete game of the season (and I just LOVE those high socks)
• Mariners complete their first sweep!

on the hill
Felix left some pitches up early and didn't get much help (uncharacteristically) from his "D" but then he buckled down (you KNOW he hated giving up that run in the first) and took it... all. the. way.  Wak gave big cred to Rob (it's a catcher to catcher thing) and one has to admit that Rob and Felix are definitely simpatico.  Well, maybe with the exception of Felix being a bit to anxious to field certain balls that he should leave to others to handle (whew!)

at the plate
In a nutshell, hits and rbi's at the bottom, walks at the top and runs in the middle and all that mattered in the 4th - where the M's scored all four of their runs (thanks, in large part, to the hustle of Mr. Tui!)

Rob Johnson(notes), who had Seattle’s first hit off Millwood, chopped a grounder back up the middle that was cut off near the outfield grass by second baseman Justin Turner(notes). Instead of trying a difficult throw across his body to get Johnson, Turner made an underhand flip to shortstopCesar Izturis(notes) covering second.

Tuiasosopo hustled and slid his foot into the bag ahead of the ball, scoring Lopez and tying the game at 1-1. Wilson then followed with a drive to deep right-center.

“That changed the whole game,” Wilson said. “The ball gets hit and you think they’re out of the inning and next thing you know (Tuiasosopo) makes a big play, gets everybody pumped up, gets me pumped up to go to the plate.”

And then, with the bases loaded J-Dub hits his FOURTH in three games...
this one of the bases-clearing variety.

There were the rare 2 errors ...
but, the good thing is, those who committed them (Tui and Figgy) more than redeemed themselves with hustle and 2 DP's respectively.

7-2, nice way to head off on the road.
