g103 | old man winner....

Mariners 4 | Rays 3

Keepin' 'em in it...
It took him 106 pitches to get through 6+ but Kevin did what he's been doing with regularity of late (with the exception of his last start against the Royals) - kept them in it. He also did something he hasn't done with regularity all season - earn the victory.

Bats a triple short of the cycle in the third...
Nice to see a bit of a crooked number posted in an inning - and with a bit of a power display: Jesus mashed his 10th homer, Kyle followed up with a double and was singled in by Miggy.

Bullpen bends but doesn't break...
  • League, who has been pitching really well for the past six weeks or so, allowed a run in the 8th (on a double and a triple). Thankfully, the bats were able to rally with a little small ball and got the run back via a couple of walks, a steal, a sac-bunt and a sac-fly to keep the lead at two heading into the 9th. 
  • "Closing time" got a bit interesting when the Bartender, after getting two quick outs, allowed a run on a single and a triple but, was able to get the third out via a ground out.
