Guti and the beast

May 25th:  Mariners @ Twins  (Bedard v. Duensing)

There's a drive to deep left-center field and it's gone!  A homerun by Franklin Gutierrez!  His first homer of the season was a monster of a shot.  The rest of the M's hitting wasn't all that great but Brendan Ryan continued his hot streak going 2-3 with a triple and an RBI.  Adam Kennedy also had an RBI double and that is what won for the M's were those 3 runs.  By-the-way, those were the only Mariner's batters to get hits yesterday.  Erik Bedard threw 6 stellar innings scattering 6 singles and giving up no runs to give him a 14 inning scoreless streak.  He struck out 4 in the process of obtaining his third win on the season and walked only one batter.  The Mariner bullpen continued to dominate opposing batters.  David Pauley went 2 scoreless innings giving up just one hit and dropping his ERA under 1 at .95.  Brandon League was able to close it out in the 9th to give the Mariners their 24th win of the season.  They are just one win shy of .500, so hopefull they can ride this momentum back to Seattle where they will welcome the Bronx Bombers to town.  And that is why I am Sleepless Over Seattle.
