Lots of interesting, fun stuff tonight!
Hisashi Iwakuma, made his major league starting debut...
a decent outing, though he surly would like one pitch back - that would be the one to Chris Davis that ended up in the seats and enabled three runs to score. Iwakuma gave up those three runs as well as three walks but he also struck out four and threw 71 pitches (a good amount, considering his highest pitch count in long relief was 65)

* Frst time ever that a major league starting lineup included THREE Japanese players

The old adage of "hitting is contagious" came to fruition tonight...
Seager was the lone sad-sac - he and Ichiro were the only ones without at least one hit but, Ichiro walked and scored a run.
* Figgy still in the lineup - and, surprisingly, not sucking! He's made some nice defensive plays AND contributed, again, with the bat (Saunders still recovering from the flu)
-the first run was text book get 'em ON (Figgy single) get 'em OVER (Kawasaki bunt) get 'em ON (Ryan single)

-Mr. Wilhelmsen ~ earned his SEVENTH save
Felix Day tomorrow!
