New Seattle Mariners hurler Ian Snell made his much anticipated debut tonight against the Texas Rangers, working six innings of two run ball. When you take into account the fact that he was facing a powerful lineup like the one Texas has, his results were pretty good, but overall he was just OK.
Of his 84 [...]

When Ian Snell stepped to the mound on Sunday, it was perhaps the most important start of his career.
After coming to Seattle from Pittsburgh, a franchise that hasn't had a winning season since 1992, Snell was pitching his first August start for a contender in his career.
