Well the team that we saw yesterday is gone but the Mariners pitching staff continues to shine. The Mariners only scored twice in the first 9 innings and took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th. Joakim Soria came in and the game seemed all but over until J.D Drew drove one over the right field wall. The bullpen was then able to hold the Rangers off in extras until the Mariners were able to get one more run in the top of the 11th. Jeremy Affeldt then came on and shut the door, earning his first save of the season.
When asked of his teams efforts, manager Eric Wedge said, "I'm very proud of these boys today, they came into a tough ballpark, in Arlington, and were able to persevere into extra's and come away with a win. If our bullpen keeps this up the entire year, I can't see us losing many games."
