K-Rod KO'd
Of all the teams against all the pitchers in all the world, you don't really expect the Mariners to rally for three runs against Francisco Rodriguez. Instead of matching his career high with 47 saves, he walked one, allowed three hits and uncorked a wild pitch. There were actually four blown saves in the game as the score went back and forth from the 7th through the ninth, the last came on a Teixeira home run off Putz in the bottom of the ninth. That sent the game into extra innings.
In the twelfth, Raul Ibanez, going for the cycle, hit a double instead of a triple to start a three run rally and the Mariners walk away with 10-7 victory. Ibanez is on the trade block, and a 4-5 night with a walk just ups his value. He's one of the few Mariners hitters who is living up to his 2007 stats.
