Going into this game, I had misgivings about the capability of Ryan Rowland-Smith to handle a match up against Yankee's ace, CC Sabathia. Luckily, RRS had an okay outing, managing to go 6 innings and only give up a couple of runs. Russell Branyan drove in a few runs in the top of the 8th to tie the game and it seemed quite possible we could have taken this game back.
Then A-Rod singled in a few runs off Aardsma, Mariano Rivera closed out the 9th and it ended like so many Mariner Yankee match ups of old. If it isn't the offense, its the bullpen. Goddamn it!
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
RRS for probably his best outing this season, though giving up 3 runs is hardly spectacular.
