Ryan Rowland-Smith steps into the closer role for the Mariners and gets the job done against the Rays. He enters with one out in the eighth and retires all five men he faces, including the top of the Tampa Bay order in the ninth. He ended the game with flair, striking out Carlos Pena.

The Mariners have to like the fact he threw strikes, with 13 of his 17 pitches getting a positive result. With Putz out, he'll get more chances to close. The Mariners end their losing streak with a 6-5 win.
