Texas 6, Mariners 5

King Felix wasn't his usual self (he has a minor case of the flu), while M's hitters were feebly waving at what Texas' Millwood threw. Then Gutierrez plated three with a fifth-inning clout, and the bullpen kept it close with nine spotless outs. Down one run in the ninth, the M's got the tying run to second base. But Ichiro's harmless flyout put an end to their chase. Box. Next game Tuesday vs. Texas at 1:40 p.m.; Erik Bedard vs. Vicente Padilla.

Millwood was throwing all strikes last night, they didn't have much choice but to swing early in the count.

I know people are still talking about Lopez working a 14 pinch count over the weekend but I still feel like the M's are showing impatience at the plate and swinging early at high pitches out of the strike zone.
