The Mariner hitters swung and missed 21 times, which is atrocious, but it's great to see another home run from Ichiro Suzuki and finally a home run from Justin Smoak, his first since like June something and clearly the biggest play of the game when it broke a 1-1 tie in the 6th inning. Jason Vargas didn't have an extraordinary game, but more the type of game that he needs to have more often to be his usual roughly league average self. Well done by the bullpen though, covering the final three innings with little trouble to secure the win and bring the Mariners one win closer to avoiding a 100-loss season.
