And now, that's two series wins in a row at home! All because whatever Doug Fister can do, Felix can do better! The King set a career high mark by striking out 13, and he managed 8 innings only giving up 5 hits and 1 walk. David Aardsma threw a perfect 9th for his 3rd save in as many days. Sure, the run support wasn't great, but it was better than what Felix is use to and it was more than enough.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Felix, duh.
Some fun facts for franchise fanatics:
-Tonight's Win ties Felix with pitcher Mike Moore for 5th all time in franchise history (66).
-The lack of runs allowed Felix to further pad his lead as the all time Mariner's ERA champ (3.35)
-With 48 games left to play, and Felix pitching 9 of those barring an injury or other mishap, he should pass Freddy Garcia as #5 innings pitched, (Only 9 1/3 to go) and #5 in games started (8 more)/
