g96 | thiiiiiis close

Mariners 6 | Red Sox 8

Crazy one!

Nearly no-hit by Lackey ...
the M's scored a run without the benefit of a hit in the second inning (walk, steal, ground out, passed ball) and continued to go hitless until two outs in the bottom of the 8th when Josh Bard singled but was stranded when Ichi flied out.

Meanwhile, the BoSox were racking up the hits vs. RRS ...
Ryan would go six giving up eight hits and five runs.  Brian would give up one run in his inning of work and the Red Sox would go to the bottom of the ninth up 1-6...

And then it got interesting ...
't was really quite amazing, I'm tired, so I'll take the easy route (courtesy YaHoo!)...
M. Delcarmen relieved J. Lackey
- C. Figgins singled to left center
- F. Gutierrez homered to deep left, C. Figgins scored
- J. Lopez walked
- M. Bradley safe at first on shortstop M. Scutaro's fielding error, J. Lopez to second
J. Papelbon relieved M. Delcarmen
- J. Smoak struck out swinging
- C. Kotchman doubled to right, J. Lopez scored, M. Bradley to third
R. Langerhans ran for C. Kotchman
- J. Bard walked
M. Saunders ran for J. Bard
- J. Wilson grounded into fielder's choice, M. Bradley scored, R. Langerhans to third, M. Saunders out at second, R. Langerhans scored, J. Wilson to second on second baseman B. Hall's fielding error
- I. Suzuki intentionally walked
- C. Figgins struck out looking

The offense would have their golden opportunity to win it in the 12th ...
Single, single, sac-fly, walk - and then then the balloon burst - foul out, popup

The pen would hang in their for longer than expected ...
Jamey, David and Garrett combined for FIVE innings of NO hit, NO run ball, but Garrett lost the magic in the 13th ... single, out, out, walk, double

And that was all she wrote on a Thursday evening in Fenway Northwest.

By the way, nice catch by Ichi to rob Ortiz of a home run in the first inning....
