Jason definitely didn't have his "A" stuff tonight but, man, did he battle! He threw more pitches in his six innings tonight than he did an any of his starts last season. The 1st and the 4th were easy ~ 1-2-3 but but other than that, don't think I've ever seen a pitcher work harder.
(114P - 6IP - 6H - 2ER - 2BB - 4K)
- 2nd - three straight singles but only one run (and 34 pitches)
- 3rd - one walk, but no runs
- 5th - strands a lead off double
- 6th - a walk, a double, a single and a 12-pitch AB to the batter who made the third out
He only recorded one out (sac bunt) and allowed 2 runs on 3 singles, a walk and a wild pitch in the 7th
Chris Ray took over with runners at 1B and 2B and only one out and it didn't get any better. He promptly walked the first batter to load the bases and then let loose a wild pitch that scored a run. But wait - there's more! After throwing three straight balls to the next batter he throws a called strike and then a strike that is hit for a THREE-RUN TRIPLE.
Jason's effort deserved SO much better than this.
The only bright spots in the pen came too late...
Pauley (8th) and Wilhelmsen (9th) combined for two scoreless innings
at the plate
- Milton hit his second homer of the season with Figgy aboard (yes - he finally hit one where they weren't!) to give the M's a 2-1 the lead in the 3rd inning.
- Justin smoked his second homer - a solo shot - into the bullpen in the 8th
- almost got to double-digit hits (9)
- added another SEVEN to their league-leading walk total
- unfortunately, racked up some more o'fers with RISP (six tonight)
- Figgy out at 3B on a double steal attempt
- Error on a throw by MB - runner scores to tie the game at 2 in the 6th
- Brendon muffs a hot shot grounder (not an error) that should have been third out in the 6th
