Going into this game, I had my usual misgivings about sending Ryan Rowland-Smith to the mound. Totally justified when I tuned into the game and the Mariners were down 6-1 in the third inning. At this point, we Seattle fans have been ready to call it a game with maybe a couple runs being scored at the end, but altogether futile once the other team pulls away by more than 3 runs, typically.
However, tonight was different. The M's managed to rally back and tie this thing in the 7th. Sure, Brian Sweeney gave up a go ahead homer to Juan Rivera and we were unable to get that run back, but to get back 5 runs is something this team hasn't been able to do. At the helm of the offensive was new acquisition, Justin Smoak, 3-3 with a homer, a double and a couple of RBIs. Hopefully, a taste of things to come.

Smoak, starting to fit in nicely.
