GAME 11: TWINS 6, MARINERS 5

[initial placeholder -- sometimes there are the games you're glad you don't see right away...]

In 25 words or less: How much damage can you do with 12 pitches? Julio Mateo has the answer.

This one featured Johan Santana going up against Jarrod Washburn. The Mariners needed a win to avoid not only a sweep of the series by the Twins, but also to avoid falling below the .500 mark for the first time in the 2007 campaign. Of course, the game was taking place less than 24 hours after the air was taken out of the sails of Marinerville when Felix Hernandez walked off the mound due to right elbow tightness, an injury that will apparently put him on the shelf for at least two starts. Mariner fans are well aware of the trials and tribulations involving so many pitching prospects over the years that have run into a bottomless reservoir of arm injuries; we've seen them all, and everyone is hoping Felix doesn't come down with a ruptured labrum or a torn shoulder capsule or a (insert injury here). Would the Mariners be able to pick themselves up off the mat and deliver a win?
