Even a sold out crowd on "Free Ticket Night" wasn't enough to will the Mariners to victory tonight. They struggled to get anything going offensively as their only runs came on a solo shot by the hot Chris Iannetta in the 3rd and an RBI triple by rookie Leonys Martin in the 8th. Apart from the 1st and 5th innings, Matt Harrison had a great outing. Allowing 4 runs over 7 innings but he looked very sharp on the mound. The main issue came from not getting his strikeout pitches working tonight, only K'ing 1 batter through 7. Zimmerman, however, looked fantastic through his entire start, allowing just that 3rd inning homerun through his 7 innings.
The Mariners will look to rebound tomorrow night as Fausto Carmona takes the mound against Johan Santana; who the Mariners were able to chase out of the game in just 5 innings, scoring 4 runs on en route to a 15-1 pounding in their last meeting.
Troy Tulowitzki is now 5-33 with a .152 avg and only 2 RBI's in these first 8 games and he will need to turn it around if this club wants to continue winning games.
B.J. Upton has been red hot, hitting .452/.528/.742 with a homer and 4 RBI's.
