A little behind on this, but here we go...
After taking the first game from the Rangers, Scott Feldman dominated the Mariners for 7 innings while only giving up one earned run. The Mariners scattered 9 hits and Guti raised his average to .444 and Figgins had a few hits, but other than that, a stagnant offense did little to remain in contention with the Rangers slugfest.
Ian Snell was knocked out of the game after giving up 5 runs through innings, and then each following reliever (Colome, Texeira, and League) gave up at least on earned run in the innings that followed.
Another disappointment was Adam Moore committing two catcher interference errors behind the plate in back to back at bats to David Murphy by hitting the bat with his glove when trying to catch pitches. Moore is young and in the long scheme of things these errors won't matter, but it's a rarity to commit this kind of error even once a game.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Gutierrez is really showing up at the plate. Unfortunately, the rest of the team has yet to catch on. At this point, Gutierrez has a hit in each of the first 7 games.
