And so, we follow a good offensive/mediocre pitching game with an excellent pitching/crippled offensive one. Until the 7th, the Mariners were unable to put anything on the board. They threatened in the bottom of the 9th, but it ended with Mike Sweeney hitting a long fly out to Fred Lewis.
It was a waste for Doug Fister who had another 8 inning outing that ended without him able to get a win. He gave up only 3 runs, 5 hits and a walk while striking out 5. This guy remains in the leader boards in ERA and WHIP, but he can't always hold the opposing team to less than 3 runs. That's a bit much to expect of him.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Fister of course. In addition to a low ERA and WHIP, he's also only allowed 1 homer in 55 innings pitched, the least among American League pitchers with at least 42 innings under their belt.
