Again with the home runs. Mike Sweeney blasted his 3rd home run in 3 consecutive games while Franklin Gutierrez wrung up his team leading 4th and Adam Moore got his 1st of the season. Again, the M's were set up in the 8th with a 4-1 lead.
The pitching of Doug Fister and Kaneoka Texeira combined for 7 innings of 1 run ball, but there was anxiety again in the bottom of the 8th. Shawn Kelley gave up a 2 run jack to Evan Longoria. It looked as if it could go the same as the last game. Luckily, Aardsma threw a perfect 9th and picked up his 9th save. A good start to the series in Tampa Bay.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Mike Sweeney. After a slow offensive start, he's starting to homer like crazy.
