Fifteen hits, eleven walks -- only one intentional -- and one error. Twenty-seven base runners. Thirteen runs. In one game, the M's moved from 28th to 19th in total runs scored.
Believe it or not, it was still a game in the seventh inning.
That's when Jamie Wright came in to face Brandon Inge with one out an the bases loaded, ahead 6-2. Inge -- he of the .196 batting average -- SWUNG AT THE FIRST PITCH and hit into a double play.
The Mariners really began to marinate in the bottom seventh, scoring five times on four hits and THREE WALKS. Before the half-inning ended, Anthony wished the whole game into the cornfield.
Austin ... Jackson struck out three times, and there's always room in the cornfield for a .152 leadoff hitter.
Full marks for anyone who was up at 1:37 AM to see the night's last ugly pitch.
The good news? There's a day game tomorrow. Today. And y'know what? Tomorrow's gonna be a real good day!
