Cliff Lee, in his first appearance as a Seattle Mariner thew a phenomenal game, going 7 innings while only allowing 3 hits, no runs, and no walks while striking out 8. Unfortunately, there was no offense put together until Texas won the game in the 12th inning. So, yet another Mariner's pitching gem was wasted with a dormant offense.
Also wasted were 3 hits from Ichiro, including a squeeze opportunity ruined when Eric Byrnes pulled back a bunt and left Ichiro high and dry as he ran for home where Matt Treanor fumbled the ball but was able to recover long before tagging Ichiro. Awesome.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Cliff Lee. He's already pitching like the former Cy Young Award Winner that we signed in the off season. It will be so much sweeter when he has some run support.
