Franklin Gutierrez hit a three-run homer off C.J. Wilson with two outs in the eighth inning Thursday night as the Mariners erased a one-run deficit and beat the Rangers 3-1.
The key at-bat in the eighth was to the hitter before Gutierrez, Ken Griffey Jr. He drew a walk to extend the inning, which started with an Ichiro Suzuki double. Gutierrez hit 1-0 two-seam fastball that cut...

Wow, that was close. The Mariners were on the brink of irrelevance before Franklin Gutierrez hit a three-run homer off C.J. Wilson in the ninth. David Aardsma saves it for Felix Hernandez, the Mariners go on to a 3-1 win and are now only 3 1/2 games out of first place.
They were that close to being 5 1/2 out.
What a difference a swing makes.

The Rangers couldn't hold the 1-0 lead and fell 3-1 to the Mariners. The loss puts them just a 1/2 game in front of the Angels and 3 1/2 ahead of Seattle.
A few thoughts:
• C.J. Wilson. He's pitched very well the last few months, so a bump in the road was to be expected. Wilson and the Rangers talked about the walk to Ken Griffey Jr. being the at-bat that hurt. No...

Remember that Mariners’ slogan back in 2002? “Sodo Mojo”? The one that never seemed to hold true for a struggling Mariner team?Well, these “new day” Ms have shown a bit of that magic the team of old was lacking. In fact, this rediscovered “mojo” is perhaps the main reason that the Mariners somehow find themselves in the playoff picture this year. I mean, really, just...

Back when Ken Griffey Jr left the Mariners, there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. Seattle as we knew it was sure to cease to exist – not just the team, but the city itself. Starbucks would fold, Sub Pop would complete a merger with Muzak, and the Pike Place Market would [...]

As the title suggests, another Home Run Derby will go by devoid of Ichiro's presence, being that he has turned it down for the second year in a row. You can't help but speculate about why he insists on not fulfilling the fantasy of just about every die hard Mariner fan who sees his power potential as the next Jose Canseco or, maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, Mo Vaughn...

The Rangers finally broke through against Felix Hernandez, who helped out by walking Ian Kinsler. With two outs, Michael Young singled, sending Kinsler to second.
The Rangers then pulled off a double steal, which proved to be a key play when Hernandez bounced a ball four pitch to Hamilton that got away from the catcher and Kinsler scored from third.
Rangers, 1-0, going into the...

Dan Haren has been the best pitcher in baseball this season.
Sorry Zack Greinke. Sorry Tim Lincecum. Sorry Felix Hernandez.
Haren reaffirmed that on Friday night in an 8-0 complete game shutout of the Florida Marlins at Chase Field. Haren had ten strikeouts in the game, and walked only one batter while throwing a [...]
