Welcome to Seattle Charlie!
Nice to see Mr. Furbush get a victory in his first Seattle start. He only went 5 innings (65 pitches) but also only allowed two hits and one run and NO walks with three strikeouts. It was his first start since July 9th (when he was with the Tigers) where he only made it 2.2 innings in a loss to the Royals. Previous to that, on July 4th, he took a loss vs. the Halos (and only went 4.2IP). Charlie retired the first 12 batters he faced and then allowed back-to-back doubles before getting the next batter to fly out to Guti who then apparently (I read in a tweet since I didn't see the game) made an awesome throw to get Sizemore at 3B.
And how 'bout those bats?
FOURTEEN hits - granted, they were all singles, but not a bad single to run ratio. Everyone 'cept Greg (0-4 w/3 K's - ouch!) contributed. Guti went 0-fer as well, but did have an RBI. Jack and Josh each had one hit (Josh's good for 2-RBI). And, apparently, Jack played a pretty mean 3B (his first time ever). Everyone else in the lineup had multiple hits. Ichiro and Mike both went 3-5, Casper and Mike each good for 2 RBI. Yes - a good day it was.
And then the 'pen...
Josh Lueke and Jamey combined for 3 scoreless innings, allowing 2 hits and 2 walks.
Jeff Gray had a bit of a rough go in the 9th though...
leading by 5 runs (6-1) he allowed 2 singles and a home run. Cortes came in and got a pop-up and then walked a batter. By then it was a close situation - enter Mr. League for his 26th save.
So far, seems like the Seattle/Detroit trade has been a win-win.
the players from D to S...
In his three games as a Mariner, Casper has five hits (including a homer), three runs, four RBI and a stolen base - not too shabby! And, as already mentioned, Charlie got his first win in his first start.
(and, there's still Martinez and the PLTBNL!)
the players from S to D...
Nice to see that our old friend Mr. Fister finally got his 4th win today in a Tiggers uni.
David has only pitched 2/3 of an inning in Detroit so far, but got a hold.
