Mariners 3 | Rays 2

Way for Kevin to bounce back from his last start and from that first inning...
he scattered EIGHT hits in SEVEN innings, gave up ONE walk and TWO runs and K'd EIGHT

In the post game show, Shannon pointed out a fun fact...
KW was down 3-0 with THREE different hitters with RISP - and he STRUCK 'em ALL OUT!

Stephen Pryor was none too shabby himself...
the only hit he allowed in 1-2 innings was a lead-off double and then proceeds to strikeout the next two and get a fly ball for the third out.

Moore had been holding left handers to a .176 average but...
Dustin was able to pound out THREE hits
Seager had two hits and scored a run
Smoak (just recalled from Tacoma due to Carp's injury) lined a double in his first AB

And, in the 9th, vs. the best closer this season...
-Seager singles
-Figgy pinch hits for Wells (who had K'd 3x) and lays down a bunt to move the runner but, Pena makes a bad throw and Figgy ends up on 2B and Seager on 3B
-Smoak hits a sac-fly scoring Seager to tie the game and Figgy gets to 3B
-Olivo strikes out
-Thames (after striking out 3x) singles on a 1-2 count, Figgy scores....

Mariners WIN!!!!!!!!!!
