Oakland 9, Mariners 0

Really the only thing worth remembering from last night's game was an amazing swing by Ichiro. In the 4th inning, Harden threw him a nasty splitter that fooled him. But he changed his swing mid-stroke, adjusted his bat downward, and reached the ball about a foot off the ground. And he didn't just make contact, which would've been an amazing feat in itself--he lined the ball into centerfield.

Then Beltre grounded into a double play.

M's have an off-day today, they play Cleveland at 1:05 pm on Friday.
