A Milestone of International Proportions
Ichiro. Everyone knows him by his first name. Especially those of us that follow our beloved Mariners. He is about to make history. Last night, he rapped a triple to put him at 2,999 hits between the Major Leagues and Japan.
The M’s defeated the Rangers 7-5 last night. It was a barrage of homers by Adrain Beltre which was 2 of the 4 hit by the M’s. Noteworthy was Bryan LaHair’s first major league dinger.
Rhodes struggled some to make the game look like it could be a bad one. A key component of the game was the pickoff of /josh Hamilton at third base. Johima made the throw with precision.
Sean Green picked up the win and Brandon Marrow notched his 10th save.
Tonight the Mariners (40-65) will start Carlos Silva and the Rangers (54-52) send Luis Mendoza to the hill for an 8:05 PM EST start
