Miguel Cairo laid down a beautiful squeeze bunt in the top of the 10th inning and the Seattle Mariners went on to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays by the score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Willie Bloomquist scored on the squeeze play from third base to score the winning run.
Besided the squeeze play in the 10th inning, the other two Mariners runs came in the first inning. Jose Vidro connected on a two run home run for the Mariners first two runs. From the second through the ninth innings however, the M’s had a terrible time getting any rallies going as they couldn’t push across any runs.
Mariners starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn tossed the first six innings of the game while he gave up five hits and one run. Washburn pitched a pretty good game but did walk three batters. Mark Lowe gave up one run without recording an out. Arthur Rhodes and Miguel Batista were finaly able to get the Mariners out of the seventh inning. R.A. Dickey then tossed the next two innings without having any damage done. Dickey actually ended up picking up the win and is now 1-1 on the season.
Onto the 10th inning that seen a dropped ball by Wladimir Balentien, and then the Blue Jays twice having the bases loaded but not scoring one run. J.J. Putz was able to get a double play with zero outs in the inning and then got a fly ball off the bat of David Eckstein to end the game stranding all three runners on base.
A win is a win and the Mariners will take it anyway they can get one at this point in the season. Even if it is ugly lol.
