can never be too much Gar respect – oh, and the W was good too ;-)

Mariners 2 | Rangers 1

boxscore

finally, a one-run victory (SIX of their last SEVEN losses have been by ONE run)

also nice to repay the walk-off vs. the Rangers (what IS it w/this team? = M’s kryptonite!)

ON the MOUND

  • Anderson: 5.1IP-6H-1r-1ER-0BB-4So
  • Smith+Sadler+Castillo+Steckenrider = 3.2 ONE hit, scoreless bp

AT the PLATE

  • only SEVEN hits and only ONE for extra bases (Toro double)
  • a bases-loaded walk for Kelenic tied it in the 6th and Torrens’ walk-off single won it in a walk-off

and how apropos that the DH get’s the walk-off hit – given Gar’s statue was unveiled today 🙂

IN the FIELD

  • no DP’s
  • no errors
  • but, some stellar defensive plays

Disappointed that I didn’t get to see the “unveiling” in-person (I was there for his induction to the M’s Hall of Fame, as well as his retirement ceremony ❤
