g129 | Fifth for FiFi

Mariners 1 | Twins 0

So apparently, Felix made a little bit of history....
- he became the only pitcher in M's history to record FIVE shutouts in a single season
- he is the first pitcher since 1976 to get the win in 4+ complete games (Blyleven, Jenkins, Drysdale, Gibson and Horlen last five to do it)

Felix is 9-0 with a 1.40 ERA over his last 14 starts which ties his career win streak.

So anyway ...
Felix was good.

Prior to the game, the M's activated Guti from the DL and optioned Casper Wells to AAA.

Guti had a single in his first AB, two stolen bases and an awesome catch at the wall. Not too shabby for his first day back.

I didn't see the game but, heard mention he seemed a little "gun-shy" when at 1B - understandably so! He even admitted after the game that it'll take awhile for him to get over the "flashbacks" (maybe he should talk to Justin - seems like he's overcome it pretty well).

And the hitting hero of the night...
The Twins actually outhit the M's 5-3 but Eric Thames made his count in the 8th inning with his 7th home run of the season.
