Game #1
What a awesome game...the Mariners barely squeeked this one out in 13 innings for their 5th straight win. The Mariner's along with the Yankees are the hottest teams in MLB currently IMO.
Quote:
CHICAGO -- Left-hander Jarrod Washburn got his first hit in almost three years Tuesday night, but he'll have to wait a few days before getting another opportunity to win his first game this month. Washburn singled home the go-ahead run in the fourth inning, departed after six, and watched the much-used bullpen hold the lead until the eighth.
But the Cubs scored a run to saddle Washburn with his third no-decision -- two of them in June -- and had the bases loaded with none out before Brandon Morrow and George Sherrill retired three straight batters without allowing a ball to leave the infield, keeping the series opener deadlocked.
It remained tied until the 13th inning, when, with two outs and nobody on, the Mariners scored two runs for a 5-3 Interleague victory in front of what was left of the 40,071 fans at Wrigley Field as the Mariners extended their winning streak to a season-high five games.
