Back-to-back wins for the first time since before the break - July 4th and 5th in Oakland.
Some weird plays to start this one.
In the bottom of the 1st...
Brendan hits an infield single and takes 2nd AND 3rd on a fielder's choice (since there were no fielders by the bags). Dustin followed that up with a walk and Mike with a 2-RBI double.

In the bottom of the 3rd...
Dustin hit a line shot up the 1B line that was fielded by a fan (the "Ichi" double) and was awarded 3rd (much to Melvin's dismay) when the ump said that Dustin was well past the bag at second when the fan interfered. Dustin's FIFTH triple in 39 games.
Then not much action until the bottom of the 6th...
when the "new guy" Casper Wells hit a 2-run shot over the hand-operated scoreboard in left field. Welcome to Safeco Field Casper!

In the top of the 7th...
Sizemore homered with one out and one on and Felix's night was done. He took 113 pitches to get through 6.1, walked 3 and struck out 9 along the way to his 10th victory. Jeff finished the inning quickly, getting two outs with five pitches.

In the 8th...
Jeff struggled - just a tad - he loaded the bases with only one out - and proceeded to recored 2 strikeouts. In the bottom of the frame, Kyle Seager pinch-hit for Justin with 2-outs. Justin had hurt his thumb trying to field a ball earlier in the game. Kyle had just been called up from the Rainiers this afternoon, having played in a game earlier today. Unfortunately, he struck out, but in the end it wouldn't matter.
In the bottom of the 9th...
Brandon retired the side in order for his 25th save.

(p.s. good to see Guti get an other couple of hits ... slow and steady improvement)
