I know it's only been a few games but it's nice to see the Mariners get off to a good start. The Mariners only beat the A's twice all last season and they have tied that mark already.
Quote:
SEATTLE (AP) -- It's got to be the roof.
That's as plausible a reason as any for the recently marooned Seattle Mariners being 2-0 for the first time since 1996.
Richie Sexson hit his second homer under the closed roof at Safeco Field in two games. Then Yuniesky Betancourt's tiebreaking, two-run shot off Kiko Calero in the seventh inning allowed the success-starved home crowd to follow an outfield sign's urging to "Raise the [Retractable] Roof" by the end of the Mariners' 8-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
