While it's smallest winning streak possible, its not bad to start a season by winning the first two games, especially against a division rival that many believe will take the division.
After Felix completed his game last night, it came down to Jason Vargas to keep the consistent staring pitching going. Varg went 6&2/3 innings giving up 5 hits and a walk will fanning 6 and only allowing 1 run. Varg would have had a W except Chris Ray blew the small one run lead in the 8th.
Luckily, Ichiro singled in the go ahead run in the 9th, en route to a 3 run 9th, which was good enough for League to close out with the first Save of the season. It also put Ichiro at the top of the Mariner All time hits list with 2248, passing Mariner great, Edgar Martinez. Ichi also scored and stole his 3rd base of the season. Everybody had a hit except Adam Moore and Michael Saunders, with Milton Bradley and Jack Wilson grabbing a couple. Looks like we may have some offense this season after all.
Good times and let's keep this thing going!
