The bottom of the order ~all hitting under .200 coming into the game tonight~ produced well...
Carp, Olivo, Peguero and Ryan combined for SEVEN hits, FOUR rbi, TWO runs.
Also good to see Ackley coming around...
TWO hits (including a double) and TWO walks. Something tells me he is t h i s close to breaking out.
Billy Butler's double in the 4th was the only hit surrendered by Jason Vargas.
Billy Butler's double in the 9th was the Royals only other hit of the game.
Vargas was great (was it his last start as a Mariner???)
Jason walked THREE but only gave up the ONE run and struck out FIVE
He certainly did nothing to damage his potential trade value. Though I fall in the "keep Vargas" camp - there has to be another veteran starter, besides Felix, going forward, at least until all the young arms settle in. While Jason has had his road homer woes, he has also proven to be very durable and is obviously a perfect fit for Safeco Field.
