THE LETTER TWO
Two isn't a magic number.
But two works here in two ways.
The Mariners have won two games in a row.
Jason Bay hit two home runs tonight.
But the Mariners hold on for the 5-4 victory over the Pirates at PNC Park. Jamie Moyer pitches 6 strong innings of 1-run ball, giving up just 3 hits. Ryan Vogelsong picked up the loss for the Pirates, as he's now 1-7. And Eddie Guardado gets his 13th save.
Moyer didn't just pitch a good ballgame, he also drove in two runs. Score one for A.L. pitchers batting in N.L. parks! Or two! But as always, we like to be realistic here. The 3-4-5 guys, Ichiro, John Olerud, and Bret Boone, were a combined 0-for-11 (see the post below).
Tomorrow is a 6 p.m. CDT start with Joel Pineiro going for the M's. The Pirates will trot out Kip Wells. Can the M's make it threeve in a row?
