Pitching Holds Padres to Nine Hits
The Seattle Times

The Mariners top three starters packed a 1-2-3 punch and knocked out the Padres in a three game series at Safeco. Joel Pineiro pitched a complete game shutout allowing only three hits. In game two Jamie Moyer did the same, but only allowed a Brian Giles single in the second. In the final game Bobby Madritsch went nine innings, allowed no runs, but Peavy was just as strong, leaving the game at 0-0 after nine. Jeremy Reed singled home the winning run in the eleventh completing the much needed Seattle sweep. The Padres had only nine hits in the whole series and a batting average of .103.

Brian Lawrence leaves in the seventh after allowing three runs.

Thanks. It will be hard for me to keep up. In 2001 the M's went from 33-12 to 47-12, so for me to keep up, I have to keep winning. A 14 game win streak would be nice.
